a "full blown" high ankle sprain could mean a complete tear needing surgery
That's considered an unstable high ankle sprain

there's one main ligament in the upper ankle that attache the two leg bones
it's either strained, partial tear (most common) full tear

just like how you can injure a finger. is it bruised, broken or Ronnie Lotted?
lolz

dude was crazy...

you are correct...I should have said diagnosed with an actual high ankle sprain (severe).

I think it comes down to if the ankle is stable or unstable.

If it's stable the tibia and fibula are mostly unaffected. if it's unstable, then two or more of the ligaments are torn and the tibia and fibula are displaced.

reports of him out of his boot in less than a week, you'd think it was stable

You don't know his medical diagnosis either. We're both just giving our opinions.

I think you're discounting the extra precaution our medical staff is going to take this year. If there is any doubt about whether or not Bosa is 100% recovered from his injury they're going to sit him.

What we do know.....he's out of his walking boot a week after the injury. fact. There were no broken bones. fact. There was no surgery. fact

Yes our medical staff is being cautious...maybe he could actually be able to practice in a week, yet they're holding him out the full month?

your timetable of 9 weeks is about as likely as when you said he might not play week 1 because of a tight hammy in May OTAs.

we will agree to disagree there.

It's not a 9 week recovery time though. Missing the first 3 games would still put him within the 4-6 week recovery range assuming he's fully recovered during the bye and a full-go for practice leading up to the Monday night game against the Browns.

The injury occurred 4 weeks before the opener, so the Steeler game is 6 weeks from the time of the injury.

Because I seriously call BS on that.

I just learned that the ankle bone is connected to the shin bone, shin bone connected to the knee bone, knee bone connected to the thigh bone, thigh bone connected to the hip bone, hip bone connected to the back bone, back bone connected to the shoulder bone, shoulder bone connected to the neck bone, neck bone connected to the head bone.
If the team docs don't fix this, the sprain can spread throughout his body.

week 5 is when you're saying he would play which is 9 weeks after the injury happened.

There was a simple rule in the NFL. You don't practice, you don't play. Given his rookie status I would assume it applies here. Watch the practice reports and you will get an Idea. Walking around looking tough doesn't mean squat.

There's never been a rule in the NFL where if you don't practice, you don't play. Your pants are on fire.
