Hard to imagine we seem him back on the field this season. Absolutely sucks for him that he has to go through the rehab but I bet he is glad it isn't worse.

Deine has target our Round 20 game against the Panthers as his comeback game.
Deine Mariner Said:
“I think we’re looking around the eight-week mark (for returning to play),” Mariner said at Broncos HQ on Wednesday.
“Obviously we’ve still got plenty more games to go, so I’ll just have to take it day by day and let the body heal itself.
“It gives me a bit more hunger to get back out there.
“At the same time, I just want to make sure that I’m doing the best for myself and putting myself in a good position for my body to heal.
“It has been a pretty hectic week. My leg is doing a lot better and I am back home now which helps. I’m good. It was pretty full on with everything but I had a really good support group and the club were so good to me and my family. I am in a pretty good headspace.
“When the time comes, I’ll be ready.”
Mariner on the events of that night:
“I got rushed into surgery, so I didn’t really get to understand what was happening,” he said.
“All I knew was that there was a lot of pressure on my leg at the time. And I think a lot of the blood flow was starting to stop going into my leg.
“It would definitely be up there (with the worst pain he has felt). I was trying to go to sleep and I was thinking, ‘Should I call them or not?’ Then when I really started to feel a lot of pain and I couldn’t move, that’s when I was like, ‘I better call them.’
“I didn’t even think of that (losing his leg) as an option until I got to the hospital and they were checking for the pulse in my foot, and that’s when that stuff started coming up. But I was like, ‘Just do the surgery so I can get it over and done with’.
“When I woke up, I saw my leg still there, so I was like, ‘It’d be pretty bad if I woke up and my leg wasn’t there’.
“I’m just pretty lucky to be in this position. I’m still breathing and I’m still alive. Being in ICU, I saw a lot of other people that don’t get a second chance.”
Mariner on the medical processes involved:
“The first two surgeries, they were opening up my leg to release the pressure,” he said.
“Then over the next five surgeries, they had to close it up little by little.
“I wasn’t used to going back under anaesthetics for that long. It was pretty full on, but I was in such good hands. Shout out to Doctor Gupta and his team at St Vincent’s Private Hospital. They were the best.
“I wouldn’t be able to be here today if it wasn’t for them. Even the doctors were saying they haven’t seen this happen before.
“I’m in such good hands. I’m not too stressed about the next couple weeks. At the moment my leg is stuck a bit, so once that opens up, I’ll be able to start moving again.
“I’ve got a lot of confidence in myself to get back out there again for the Broncos.”

He's a proper jet. Happy that it all looks pretty positive for him moving forward.
