I usually have my medical at $17 or $18 mil, but for this season I dropped it to $16. Which I believe is still enough to mount a decent recovery. I am absolutely flabbergasted at the recovery of Matt Borders. I almost want to send in a ticket to make sure this is what it is supposed to be. Every prospect I have had get injured in the past that got hit that hard by an injury recovered significantly better than that. Like by 3 overall rating points better.

Is he still on the DL?   If so, he's not done.   But, at 16m, I wouldn't expect "better".    Be happy if he gets back to "same".

My expectation isn't for him to recover completely, but to gain at least half of what he lost back. He didn't get anywhere near that. It's the end of the season so his recovery completed a few days early.

I could give you countless examples of players who only got one injury recovery cycle due to end of season.  None of whom got back to what I'd hoped.  With 20m.   It sucks but it happens. 

Here's a good one and it might make you feel better.    Devastating injury in S27.    But kept improving when most players stop.  https://www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=4467183    Took him 6-7 seasons to get back where he was but it happened.
