Although there's this study about jones fractures in nfl players and it shows that the timetable to return is closer to 10 weeks.
For some reason, this fact seems to have been ignored since day one, most likely due to one mediot's opinionated timeframe that other mediots simply re-tweeted.
The normal timeframe suggested by experienced sports physicians and PTs was always somewhere between 8-12 weeks (with the hope that the surgically implanted screw could help to expedite the situation while increasing blood flow to the area), while the media kept reporting 6-8 weeks.
