Laporta will have approximately 10 full months post-op by Week 1, which is well above the 3.5-6 month minimum recovery window for NFL athletes returning from microdiscectomy surgery. Research shows no significant decline in pre vs. post-performance levels following this procedure, and Rob Gronkowski's favorable comp (first-team All-Pro, 1,084 yards, 8 TDs the year after his 2016 microdiscectomy) suggests Laporta can reach his pre-injury performance levels.

one favorable comp is Rob Gronkowski. He actually had a micro disectomy in 2016... the next year he went on to be first team all pro, 1084 yards, eight touchdowns... statistically, it actually, most of the time, there's no significant decline in pre performance levels versus post performance levels... week one is going to be around nine and a half months post-op for him... I think Laporta will reach his pre performance levels.
