The only thing we know for sure is that it is an ankle/leg injury. For all we know he walked it off and the coaches made him go to the hospital to have it checked out to be on the safe side. A lot of times when you get your legs rolled up on, it scares the hell out of you. You don't want to get up because you fear for the worst. Please let this be the case.

is that it MAY be a dislocated ankle, which, if severe, is 18-20 weeks.
However, it's important to note that it's really, really easy to mistake a nasty ankle sprain for a dislocated ankle, because the swelling in either case makes it hard to tell what's going on. A nasty ankle sprain sucks just as hard, except that it heals up pretty well in 3-4 weeks tops.

looking at an X-Ray, since a Dr. would be able to see the misaligned ankle, regardless of swelling?
Maybe this is pre-Xray news?

Have you ever dislocated an ankle or other joint? It's not even close to a sprain.

Hopefully the young corners step up.

You don't need to celebrate it Frank.

If he's really out for a long time, he will be used a motivating force behind the defense and should be used similarly by us. We can and will recover!
August 17th, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
But a freshman needs to step up and play well
August 17th, 2010 at 8:13 PM ^
Relax guys. We were going to need some Freshmen to step up ANYWAY. Not that much has really changed. It is what it is.
August 17th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
A high ankle sprain in 3-4 weeks?
You're kiddin?

GERGs' system is established. It's not new and not nearly as much of a mystery to the players. In this regard, we are in the best shape we've been in for over 3 years. Because of this stability, I believe this defense will be able to adjust better and faster to a serious loss like this.
PS - Troy, I know this must really suck for you. We are rooting for your quick and full recovery!

Troy will be alright. Float by his twitter. He's got a whole mess of hot lady followers who will definitely ensure he gets the best care. Seriously, if you've gotta be laid up, you may as well have a parade of beauty stopping by with cookies and whatnot.
