While that sucks, that?s much better than a break. Although chances are good he has a fracture somewhere. Still should be back, and not a career ender.

I thought the general rule with an ankle was a break was better than lots of ligament damage.
Praying for a full and speedy recovery either way
I would just about have a sure bet that he has a fracture. Elbows, wrists, and ankles usually have one with a dislocation the level he had
Dislocation of the ankle can cause serious damage. The way it was rotated, he was lucky it wasn't an open dislocation. The only consolation I can think of, is that if it was a bad dislocation then he would be in surgery instead of on the sidelines
It wasn't bad they set it on the field
Was watching game w an athletic trainer at another school. Said originally dislocated but that I.T can be bad enough to lose the foot if blood flow is cut. Said since they x rayd and let him back out that he will be fine come next fall, barring any unforeseen ligament damage. But the fact they let him hang around told him enough. So he says.
Thats great news
WhT I saw on tv looked much worse than dislocation. I hope that’s the case but I have my reservations. It looked really bad. I will say, Fitz again gutted it out for the maroon and white. Guys a 5 star in terms of heart and commitment.
Oh I absolutely thought he snapped just about everything you could when it happened. But the trainer i was w didn?t flinch, said dislocated, they reset on the field to get him in the air cast and xray in the locker room. If they let him back out the xray was most surely negative. I believe the long time spent on the field was to eval and reset. And the time in the dressing room was to X-ray and load him up w pain meds.... no breaks but surely hurt like hell
Looked a hell of a lot like what happened to gordon Hayward
He broke his fibula too. Had surgery at 8:00 this morning.
Dislocated ankle is more serious than some other dislocations. This is by most accounts a 4 to 9 month recovery. And yes, he had surgery this morning. Being on the field just tells us that they didn't think he was losing blood flow to the area and that it wasn't an open fracture. I feel bad for him.
The running element from Fitz' game won't be the same next year. He will have to be more stationary. The Sharks got the revenge they sought, even though blaming us for their woes shouldn't help them. Mission accomplished. We're now a different team from what we hoped going into next year.
