well that's good early news, but if it was truly non contact, how was it not serious?

you dont get a high ankles sprain with no contact, atleast I have never heard of any such situation

Who said it was a high ankle sprain? It could just be a regular ankle sprain and you can get them all the time without contact trying to cut.

Nobody.  That's the other diagnosis by Dr. Krayz.  It's a high ankle sprain with Achilles involvement written all over it based on the fact that it was non-contact.  Nobody ever injures an ankle in a minor way in non-contact situations.  

By the time KJD is done diagnosing this thing, Lee is going to be preparing to be fitted for a prosthetic.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Conveniently, Fournette also injured with a foot injury. First day on this new turf. LOL

I was thinking/wondering the same thing...

Yeah, it's definitely something flags go up over when one practice session in on the new turf you've got two key injuries to deal with.  Either the turf is the problem, or the equipment guys didn't make adjustments to the cleats the players were using.

Again, Fournette didn't practice at all yesterday. Can't blame the turf on that one

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

I talked to his mom on Facebook, she said he is fine

Probably a high ankle sprain then.

Rest up big fella.

This is why ankles shouldn't get high. At least not before practice and games.

@RAPSHEET #Jaguars WR Marqise Lee suffered a high-ankle sprain, source said. He'll push hard to be ready for Week 1, but caution could push it back

---

But I thought high ankle sprains could never happen from non-contact?

But I thought high ankle sprains could never happen from non-contact?

no one said they cant, just that it is really rare/hard to do so

I mean usually its from landing on someones foot or stepping down on someones foot, hard to imagine just running and twisting it so bad and in a certain way to have a high ankle sprain

maybe the non contact part was exaggerated by reporters

---

I don't know why it would be considered improbable to get a high ankle sprain in a no-contact manner. I had one back in the day playing basketball.

Where exactly did you get your medical training?

A high ankle sprain isn't contingent upon someone stepping on it or stepping on someone.  You can get one simply by cutting and having the ankle roll.  Contact isn't required, but maybe your medical expertise says differently. I always thought a high ankle sprain is simply indicative of which ligaments were strained in the injury, and not how they were injured.

Are you sure that wasn't tackle basketball and you're just exaggerating the non-contact part?

I heard a 2 month timeframe. That'll have him back around week 3.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

I heard a 2 month timeframe. That'll have him back around week 3.

I've heard it could be that long because he's not able to practice at all until it heals meaning he'll need a couple weeks to work back into shape.

Fortunately it sounds like a minor high-ankle sprain as far as high-ankle sprains go, but in general, the high-ankle sprains are considered the worst kind.


Should this endure, I'm not sure we really need Lee out there, and that the advantage of having so many WRs. Really we have our #1 WR in ARob, and then a few guys who could qualify as the #2. In fact, when I look at the jersey numbers from the practice highlights, I rarely even see #11 or #88. Instead, I'm primarily seeing three numbers catching most of the passes, and those are #15, #17 and #84.

high ankle sprain is just a seperation of your tibia and fibula near the ankle that tears the muscle tissue connecting the two bones. It's normally acquired in non contact. I used to get them playing soccer. They take a while to heal compared to normal ankle sprains.

If your foot goes one way and your leg twists wrong the other, it's easy to get them. Coming down wrong from a jump or planting and cutting hard are pretty good ways to get them. I think I had one from sprinting and stepping in a hole wrong on Fletcher's field. They are not hard to get.

At least this is my understanding of them.
