Steve Angeli

I dont care, but did he have two distinct injuries here or is this gamesmanship?

Ive heard ACL or achilles and it seems he has a brace for each potential injury?

A defender landed on his leg in te first half and had him gimpy, but he was able to come back after 1 play. That's the knee brace.
Got it. I assumed since he came back the first injury wasnt "brace worthy"
 
He had a pretty good limp coming back in. Wonder if the first injury helped cause no 2
I doubt it. The knee would have been completely unrelated. The tendon went on non-contact, it must have been just ready to go, unfortunately.
 
My differential diagnoses from afar

Best case scenario: partial tear of one of the heads of gastrocnemius (calf muscle)

Worst case scenario: ruptured achilles
Doesn't the toe usually hang down limp on an Achilles tear? It didn't look like it was, which is my only hope it's less severe - because otherwise I thought for sure it was an Achilles.

Tore my achilles in April playing soccer. Similar scenario, non contact, not even an athletic move, a simple cut. Absolutely no pain, just felt like a direct kick to the back of my calf and a full on pop. Hope Steve heals up fast.
How long was/is your recovery?
 
Surgery 1 week after injury. Non weight bearing for 6 weeks, then aircast/boot for 6 weeks, then walking with lifts in shoe for 4 weeks. I'm currently walking normally (for the most part). Just able to jog in the last two weeks. Its a slow process. My surgeon told me it would be a full year from injury to feel back to normal.

Yeah, Achille's for pro athletes is minimum 6 months, and could go a year for recovery.

It does. But the ankle and shoe were wrapped with athletic tape for support so likely wouldnt flex without the calf pulling on the foot

Idk when I tore mine, I wouldn’t say my toes hung limp. I walked to the car and walked into the ER unassisted. I just felt unstable.
