Nestled inside the Honda HRC Progressive Dean Wilson fill-in announcement, the team released a timeline on the return of Hunter Lawrence.

Hunter has been out since sustaining a raised and partially torn labrum in his right shoulder, along with multiple cracks in his humerus bone at round 5 of Monster Energy AMA Supercross in Tampa.

After undergoing surgery on Feb 13 in Orange County, California, his expected recovery time was eight to 10 weeks. In the press release issued on Tuesday, the team said they expect Hunter to return in time for the AMA Pro Motocross opener on May 24 in Pala, California.

“I’m going to get this fixed and come back 100%, to go and battle for the outdoor and SMX title again,” Hunter said after his injury in Feb.

“Obviously, we’ve missed having the Lawrences racing out of our truck for much of this season, but we’re happy to see them progressing well and hope to have them back in action soon,” said Brandon Wilson, Manager of Racing and Advertising at American Honda. “In the meantime, it will be great to have Dean showcasing the CRF450RWE. I’d like to thank Yarrive and Martin at Quad Lock Honda for their flexibility in order to make this happen.”

As for Jett Lawrence, the timeline on his return is not yet known. In the release, the team said, “Jett has been dedicated to his recovery, which is going extremely well, and he hopes to be racing as soon as possible.”

Jett has been out since round 4 in Glendale where he sustained a torn ACL in his right knee.
