It says not expected to be long term. 3-6 weeks is long term for a sprained ankle. If the description is correct I would expect to see him very soon.

"Sprained ankle" doesn't say a whole lot. A mild one could mean he won't even miss any time; a "high" one could mean he's out for weeks, and then hobbled for weeks more. More details are needed.

This is one of those times you wish he'd hop on Twitter and tell us how bad he's hurt. Not that it would happen - but obviously we all wish it would

Haha, could there be an un-written "no twitter" rule within our organization? It really wouldn't surprise me .

We lose all the name recognition, but we allow fewer and fewer points. Names like Pryor, Banta-Cain, and McGowan are anything but sexy... and they may yet prove to be not that great. But for the moment, allowing a zero in the second half against a team most would classify as dangerous on offense, is quite satisfactory.

Maybe, the "names" were holding us back because they were different players now when compared to 01 through 04.

With guys as big and heavy as Wilfork I think it could be a little longer than a week or two,with all that weight on the leg I would think there will be 3-4 weeks before he comes back,Its up to Brace,Wright and Pryor to take over and play well until then.
