Message: [QUOTE="Cuseregular, post: 4754409, member: 185"] Had a chance to watch the injuries to our guys. OG’s is quite strange, never seen anything like it. On the tackle it looked like he gets BOTH ankles rolled up, then he comes up in significant pain grabbing and grasping at and on his LEFT ankle, this before he limps off the field but now clearly having issues it looks like with both ankles. He then comes out shortly thereafter on crutches with a protective boot on, but on his RIGHT foot. Educated guess is a re-aggravation of the previously sprained left ankle either a routine inversion sprain of left lateral outside of the ankle or possibly the dreaded "high ankle sprain" as that's where he was holding his left ankle after the play. This and now a new injury with a eversion sprain to the medial or inside of the right ankle. Hopefully that’s it as that injury is often accompanied by an avulsion fracture off the tibia (don’t think so though there). Regardless he’s now got two bum ankles. Out 4-6 weeks would be my guess. Our OT Dave W situation was a more high impact trauma injury with their DT swinging through the air helicopter style while holding on in the process of making a tackle, this with his full body weight swinging in air coming back down and unfortunately impacting and nailing Dave’s planted left leg at the level of the lower leg at or just below the knee from the outside in what’s known as a valgus stress force. The knee brace should’ve and would’ve prevented a Full blow out to the mcl, acl and meniscus. But it could be a sprained knee mcl, or a fractured fibula or even a bad fibula bone bruise withthe same eversion sprain to the inside lower left ankle like could’ve happened to OG. The vid was real hard to make out. Regardless with all or any of that 4-6 too for sprains, season over if fractured. Think we’ll b ok with the committee of players at wr in this time OG is healing up and after re-watching the game think the others replacing dave along with the return of more, it’ll be six of one half dozen of another there in terms of production at the position and OL in general. Gotta cross the finger for no more. [/QUOTE]
