His issue is soreness and recovery, and I think that's a permanent issue for him going back to his rookie season.
That's 3-4 months to heal from surgery, but that doesn't mean he's going to be 100% ESPECIALLY for playing an NFL football game. There is a time frame after recovery from surgery to get up to NFL conditioning levels. This is something that takes time. You still just can't compare a major surgery recovery to a broken leg recovery, there's just such a huge difference in the recovery process
Fair enough, but my opinion is that if he's cleared to play, then he's cleared to play. Like someone just said, he can re-aggravate the injury throwing a downfield block just as easily as he can taking a special teams tackle. Pete brought him in here largely based on what he does as a returner. He cut Leon that same day and talked about it extensively at Harvin's first press conference.
I just don't see the rationale in limiting him at the one thing where rust and inexperience won't be a factor at all.
