Yes its complete speculation and he could be wrong.  Dr. Chao has a "schtick" and its reporting snap judgements on injuries based on limited information.  His gimmick is filling in the gap of time between the injury and the actual reporting of the details of the injury.  The guys with their "hands on" Horn are not going to give us information for a while...even though they might already know.

Dr. Chao spent nearly 2 decades as and NFL team doctor and he's actually pretty accurate.  Being a doctor means understanding the body and injuries.  But he has spent alot of time reviewing how certain injuries happen and the players reaction to certain injuries.

I remember years ago a star player underwent surgery leading up to the season.  Dr. Chao was on NFL Radio throwing out his random input.  He said the type of surgery the guy had takes every bit of 10-12 weeks for the incisions and tissue to heal.  The problem is the guy is going to feel "normal" after only 6-7 weeks so his instinct is going to be to go back at it...and its going to be hard for the team doctors to convince him he needs to wait another 4+ weeks even though he feels fine.  So Dr. Chao predicted he'd go back at it early, and tear some stuff open and be out for the season.  That was exactly what happened.

Yet he was completely wrong here, which proves my point.
