Are we forcing players back too quickly after surgery?

A lot has been made about players coming back from injury in record time and the advances in medical science getting us back so quickly. Perhaps we need to take a step back and re-examine that thought process, are we rushing athletes back too quickly? 3 injuries this fall stick out because players who have injured their ACL's all rehabbed and gotten back in under a year, only to tear them again. The New York Jets Kris Jenkins, the Minnesota Vikings Cedric Griffin, and Purdue's Robbie Hummel.

Obviously we all want our athletes back quickly, but is that any reason we should rush them back? I think we all can agree as coaches that it's the worst thing in the world to see one of your kids get hurt. I think it's especially heart breaking watching one work and rehab only to get hurt again. The looks on Griffin's and Jenkin's faces when their injuries happened were especially crushing. They knew they had torn it again immediately and all their rehab work went for naught.
