Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5160659, member: 12414"] I have my doubts that Mahomes plays with high ankle sprains but the night his knee was dislocated on that QB sneak and that injury was gruesome yet I think he almost came back in that game or only missed one or two games so maybe he is super human. Not sure what Youngblood (I am a Rams fan and he was one of my hero’s as a boy) was given for pain to play on the broken leg. But those NFL players I think have the advantage of a toradol shots before the game and at half time. That shot can hide a lot of pain. Can’t mess with Liam’s career. He is going to have to be 100% before we see him. This sucks but to be honest not surprising. After I saw the replay I was fairly certain we would be hearing high ankle sprain. I had it happen to me once when a golf cart ran over my ankle. I knew right away it was a lot worse than the other rolled ankles I had dealt with, but at 23 I never even went to a doctor. I was not able to play any basketball for a good two months and then it lingered into the winter. It took four month to fully recover. Of course that is without the medical care that Liam will receive. Even with mild high ankle sprains I think the ligament/tendon does pull off the bone a bit and that is what takes so long for them to heal. The surgery they now do to correct it places a band around the ligament to accelerate the healing process. If it is worse there is a more invasive surgery with screws but that is six month recovery time. The only concern I have is that sometimes they do not heal on their own unfortunately, it takes about three weeks to see if it is healing if they get that far into the injury and the healing is not progressing surgery is the best option. Not trying to be a Debbie downer but this a serious injury. And timelines with this injury are always wild as$$ guesses at first. [/QUOTE]
