Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum seems to be making progress in his return from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Achilles tears generally take about nine to 12 months to recover from, which would put Tatum around mid-February of next year at the absolute earliest. But it is certainly encouraging that he is already working out with a boot, and it should also help that Tatum is still only 27 years old as he embarks on his rehab.

Jayson Tatum reportedly is making strides in his rehab from a torn Achilles injury. Per Heavy Sports' Steve Bulpett, one scout said the Boston Celtics star looks "way ahead" in his recovery.
