During the last year, as Porter Gustin has rehabbed several injuries that have kept him from emerging into a star, USC’s coaches and trainers have learned that the Trojans’ workout warrior requires his own set of rules for recovery.
This time around, USC coach Clay Helton may have set Gustin’s timetable for a return from meniscus surgery as two to five weeks. But, after two weeks, Gustin was being watched closely at practices.
No one can blame Gustin for being antsy after missing the last three-fourths of the 2017 season with a lingering toe injury and then sitting out three weeks of his final fall camp.
