Report: D-Bryan Needs Tommy John Surgery, Out 3+ Months?

A new report suggests that Daniel Bryan could be out another three months. Deadspin’s David Shoemaker posted the following to Twitter:

I'm hearing Daniel Bryan needs Tommy John surgery and will be out at least 3 more months.

Bryan has previously said that he has more arm strength loss than they expected and could require another surgery, so this may confirm it. Tommy John surgery is a UCL reconstruction most commonly done on pitchers due to their use of a particular muscle group. However, the average rehab time for Tommy John surgery is a year, with elbow excercises not able to begin until over a month into the recovery. Thus, whether Shoemaker’s report of the recovery time is accurate or not isn’t certain.

CONFIRMED: Daniel Bryan 8-12 MONTHS >>>!!!
