Syracuse Two-Sport Sensation Reveals Shocking Timeline for Achilles Comeback—Will He Defy All Odds?
Syracuse Orange football’s highly sought-after freshman wide receiver Calvin Russell III is now facing a lengthy recovery after suffering a torn Achilles during spring practice, but early medical feedback has provided a potential timeline for his return in 2026.
Russell sustained the non-contact injury while running in Monday’s practice, according to head coach Fran Brown. The five-star recruit underwent successful surgery on Wednesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Martin O’Malley reportedly performed the procedure. O’Malley has previously treated high-profile Achilles injuries for athletes such as Jayson Tatum and Kevin Durant.
