"It takes a little longer to recover from your second [ACL surgery] than it does from your first," Grover told the Junkies on 106.7 The Fan Thursday morning. "I would recommend that he actually plays a season with a brace on, just to be on the safe side. I don’t expect anything less [performance-wise] from him.

In 2010 to make for the most equitable travel for teams going west, the scheduling rotation was tweaked. Thus anything prior to 2010 is not going to match up exactly 4 years later. Now a team playing the AFC West visits or hosts BOTH Denver and Oakland and visits/hosts BOTH KC & San Diego so there is only one far west trip. The same thing happened when Washington most recently played the NFC West in 2011. Now an eastern team will host/visit BOTH St. Louis & Seattle and visits/hosts both San Francisco and Arizona – again splitting up the game against westernmost clubs.
