High Ankle Sprains
Keep some guys out 10 weeks, and others 3.
Wonder why that is.

Re: High Ankle Sprains
I don't know either. Maybe some people can play through the pain and others can't or won't

Maybe they aren't really High Ankle Sprains? Maybe its just so the other team thinks whoever has a high ankle sprain won't play at all/limited play!

Re: High Ankle Sprains
I think way back when Ameche crossed the goal line we used to call that injury shin-splints.
It is not in the ankle at all, I think it is more of a separation of the two lower leg bones, and depending on how much they separated is the time for the tissue between them to heal.

It wasn't so much a knock on Heap as it was amazement that TO run with one, let alone play on one after 3 weeks.
As I recall he played on a broken ankle in the Super Bowl a few years ago. Somebody ought to see how this guy goes about recovering from injury. We might learn something.

Re: High Ankle Sprains
The guy apparently devoted 18 hours a day to treatment.
He had every kind of specialist imaginable.
He spent a lot of time in a hypoberic (sp?) chamber and IIRC Joe Buck said that Owens has one in his house.
He's a physical freak by nature and works hard to stay in tip top shape.
All of those factors, plus the fact that we don't know how severe the injury really was, led to his quick recovery.

Put a Hyperbolic chamber or 10 in the Palace at Owings Mills...

Re: High Ankle Sprains
It is not as simple as a broken bone. There are obviously various degrees of injuries when dealing muscles and tendons

Re: High Ankle Sprains
If Owens can afford one, the Ravens can afford ten.
