Question regarding recovery from exploded ankles

This popped into my mind coming out of a post I just put on the board.

I understand the recovery from knees and we still see some lingering from Smith from his injury last year. There seems to be an assumption that Troy will be fully functional next year to add depth to the DB corps. Is that possible with the type of injury he has? Will he lose any mobility from an injury of that type since there has to be considerable ligament damage? With the need to plant and accelerate, I would think the recovery is non-trivial. Not sure if we have any doctors on the board or anyone who stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
