Yes. He's a professional athlete...

A professional athlete recovering from serious injuries. Many professional athletes wouldn't have even been able to suit up by August, not to mention be in game shape after extended down time due to the recovery process.

A professional athlete who has access to scientific, medical, dietary support; state-of-the-art, non-weight-bearing aerobic exercise equipment and managers...

He was grossly over-weight and out-of-shape...

No crap. He was injured. Have you ever tried doing cardio work with a broken leg and a high ankle sprain? No doubt you'd come in over-weight and out of shape.
