Ballard tore his ACL a month later than Wes did (Super Bowl vs. 1st playoff game).
Wes Welker's recovery time was also exceptionally fast; outside of the norm by a lot. A bigger guy is more often than not going to have a longer recovery time, since the repaired knee will need to support more weight and torque.
Plus some reports were out there that Ballard tore the ACL and PCL on one knee and had a torn miniscus on the other knee.

bottom line: it would be shocking to see him in uniform before the summer of 2013, and also it's probably not in his best interest in terms of his career to rush back
