Exeter's verdict on how Jack Nowell is coping mentally 12 weeks into his latest long injury layoff
By Liam Heagney
Exeter and England winger Jack Nowell is reportedly coping far better mentally with his latest lengthy injury layoff compared to previous long stints on the sidelines. So explained Rob Baxter, Nowell's coach at the double-winning Chiefs. Nowell was sent for surgery after playing through the pain barrier in the October showpiece finals versus Racing and Wasps, a toe ligament injury needing repair.
Nearly twelve weeks on from Nowell's last appearance, Baxter is expecting his winger to be back in action in no more than seven weeks' time, adding that his player is doing far better mentally with this layoff due to the certainty of his comeback date unlike with some previous injuries.
"He seems to be pretty sparky," reported Baxter. "This one is slightly different from some of the others in that there is probably a definite (end) point there for him. He knew when the operation was happening, knew potentially when his return would be.
"He is a very, very good rehabber. I understand what Jack says about it can be long processes and a long time spent on your own etc, long days of hard work. It can be tough but he is also a very professional rehabber and he always returns very well.
"If anything his most influential rugby is often when he does return from those difficult periods of being injured. We are very hopeful he will come back and be an important influence very quickly. If it is managed well on his return, it shouldn't be an injury that produces any long-term issues.
"If you think the fact he played in two finals with it just completely strapped up and the ligament not being there and now they have had a total repair, he will be good. Also, as with previous injuries, it drops in that extended time where he can work on the other little things that are there.
"They continue to need working on and monitoring around his knees, his ankles, his balance and stuff. We're fully expecting him to come back and fly for us." Going on the rehab timeframe recently voiced by Exeter, Nowell is now currently about four to seven weeks away from playing.

Let's not forget the Crusaders also got spanked by the Chiefs as well. Poor defence was an issue in that game too. Hopefully motivation will have returned in spades but let's see.
Go to commentsAs a devoted father of two, my primary concern has always been the safety and well-being of my family. This commitment to my family's security was put to the test on February 6, 2025, when I embarked on a quest to find a trustworthy home security system that could offer us the protection we needed. After conducting some research online, I stumbled upon a security company that seemed promising, and I took the initiative to reach out through their messaging platform. Hours later, my phone rang, and I was greeted by a representative claiming to be from a well-known home security company. They were reaching out to inform me about a special promotional offer, which immediately piqued my interest. However, as the promised week came and went without so much as a peep from the company, my feelings of unease began to escalate. I attempted to contact the company again to inquire about the delay, only to find that the number I had called was suddenly disconnected. It was at that moment—when the reality of the situation hit me—that I understood I had fallen victim to a scam. The devastation that followed was profound; losing $40,000 was not merely a financial setback but a personal failure in my eyes—an inability to safeguard my family's future. The experience left me feeling vulnerable, exposed, and utterly defeated. Determined to reclaim my lost resources, I knew that swift action was essential. I turned to the internet for help and began researching options for recovering my funds. During this search, I came across BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, a company with a track record of assisting individuals who had encountered similar unfortunate situations. Intrigued by the success stories of people who had benefited from their services, I made the decision to reach out to them. From the moment I contacted BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was met with professionalism and empathy. Their team was understanding of my plight and remained reassuring throughout the process. They immediately set to work on investigating the fraudulent transaction and kept me informed at every step, alleviating some of the anxiety that had consumed me since the incident.Thanks to their diligence, expertise, and unwavering commitment, BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY was eventually able to recover an astounding $35,800 of the $40,000 I had lost. The relief I felt was immeasurable; it was as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Not only did they help restore my finances, but they also provided me with something
invaluable—peace of mind.Their contact info is listed below.
