"Definitely gonna talk to him when I get the chance," Jerebko said. "Just take his time. He's gonna be back no problem. I haven't had any problems with it. I took my time. It took quite some time, but I did my rehab right.
"And I know he's gonna be back 100 percent. I'm definitely gonna give him a call and reach out to him ... I've been through it."
