Same "recovery window" they allow for Sunday>Thursday night games. But I've always thought that bullshit: give all teams a bye before mid-week games. The NFL is so "concerned" about injuries that they've altered rules up the wazoo, but then they'll schedule games 3 1/2 days within each other.

BYE first, then the Wednesday/Thursday game, then the following weekend game.

Here's an even better idea: how about NO football on Christmas?
