Part of me wonders if Jack is almost best off just taking the rest of the season off and recovering completely; must be better than continuous stop and false start? Theres only 4 months left and after the US Open nothing worth risking himself for

would that be long enough? I cant recall how long it took Arthur to recover fully, but was it over a year?

It would surely give him much more chance. The bone clearly needs rest and apparently the sooner you put stress on it again you are taking a risk. He seems to me to be playing with fire in seemingly looking to go as soon as he thinks he is ready. I do think Jack should at least call it quits for this year.
