Syracuse QB Steve Angeli Has Successful Achilles Surgery, Out for Season

Medical staff project a six-to-12-month recovery, with spring 2026 participation considered the best-case scenario.

Overview

  • Angeli announced the repair was successful and shared a grateful, optimistic message that quoted Kobe Bryant.
  • Head orthopedic surgeon Todd Battaglia outlined rehab steps that include three to six weeks of immobilization, a transition to a walking boot, and progressive physical therapy.
  • Running typically resumes around four to six months into recovery, though the pace depends on Angeli’s healing and calf strength.
  • Coach Fran Brown is hopeful Angeli can take part in spring practices for 2026, which represents the most optimistic timeline.
  • Because he played in four games, Angeli is expected to qualify for a medical redshirt and preserve two seasons of eligibility.
