It all depends on the severity like others have mentioned, but I've gone through the same dislocation with the tearing of my mcl as well and I was given the prognosis that after having surgery I would be pretty much back to normal after about 9 monthes because of the degree of the tear. I actually opted to just go with physical therapy and dealing with discomfort and pain occasionally, but Campbell has much better doctors and rehab services available to him so I see him having the possibility of being ready for the spring workouts or the beginning of training camp at the latest.
