I get nervous when he runs out of the backfield.
I hope this latest rumor/news is accurate, much better than I imagined after seeing him being helped to the locker room.
maybe it's not a high grade sprain but a mid/low grade sprain...he will be on crutches for at least a week though. Sprains are soo hard to walk on the first week. I was on crutches 2 weeks with my high sprain in HS. That hurt
A grade 3 sprain is a complete tear of a ligament, causing instability in the affected joint
Doesn't sound like this if it really is only a few weeks. This would be 1-2 months..maybe longer.
Most people improve significantly in the first two weeks. Some however still have problems with pain and instability after one year (5–30%). Reinjury is also common
So he may not be 100% the rest of the year..but AH at 75% is better than no AH
But then you have this report:
A Grade 1 sprain is a mild sprain that occurs when there is slight stretching and some damage to the fibers of the ligament. Individuals can usually place pressure on the foot and walk afterward.
A Grade 2 sprain is a moderate sprain where a partial tearing of the ligament occurs. If the ankle joint is examined and moved in certain ways, abnormal looseness (laxity) of the ankle joint occurs.
A Grade 3 sprain is a severe sprain in which a complete tear of the ligament occurs. If the examiner pulls or pushes on the ankle joint in certain movements, gross instability occurs.
A Grade 1 sprain could require anywhere from 1-4 weeks of recovery time; a Grade 2 or 3 sprain, in which there is some degree of looseness of the ankle joint, could take longer and even require surgery if the tear is complete. According to PFT's Mike Florio, Hernandez is expected to miss six weeks, which would suggest he suffered a Grade 2 or 3 sprain
