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

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.

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.
