For joints like the ACL and shoulder, you work the muscles around the joint to make them stronger to help stabliize and support the joint. You can't strengthen the ACL, but you CAN strengthen everything around the knee.
Personally, I'm on board with this plan. It's a long term approach..sacrificing using him the rest of this year to reduce the risk of any injuries and letting him probably bulk up a bit in the process, to ensure he's at peak ability for training camp.
