Not me. A high ankle sprain is no joke. I'd rather have him miss a game or two against the likes of Tampa and Cincy in September than have that injury recur later on during the season and get really ugly.

High ankle sprain. But not allowed to say that in this thread.

Yup a guy who doesn't have access to his MRI and didn't even see it actually happen can give proper timelines on a recovery....

No need to worry. By the time Bosa gets back to 100%, Damontre Moore will already have 5 sacks. Book it.

It's a high ankle sprain. The # of games he misses will tell us all we need to know about the severity. Until then we're just doing what social media and message boards do, and what you do, which is guess.

Myles Garrett came back fairly soon, but of course, he isn't Myles Garrett.

I think that's one of the reasons he makes the team (Ford/Bosa banged up) He has put up some quality tape. At one point he was regarded as a high end draft prospect, I think he's got some off field stuff though.

I also think it's silly for someone to proclaim a persons recovery time without proper info on the injury...hell no one even saw it.

I wonder if this doctor said Garrett's high ankle would take a month? I wonder if he said Lane Johnson wouldn't miss a game with his high ankle sprain? I wonder if he said the timeline for Jamaal Charles' high ankle would be one missed game? s**ts all over the place, people heal differently and our coaching staff have been proactive with injuries. The fact he was out of a walking boot in less then a week IMO shows it wasn't a severe high ankle sprain.

Lane Johnson didn't miss a single game with his high ankle sprain. Jamaal Charles missed a week. The fact that he was out of his boot in less than a week is a positive and wasn't a severe high ankle sprain.

Maybe he doesn't play week 1, but IMO it would be more about SF having baby gloves with him then him not actually being able to play.

If we can guess the # of sacks a guy will have, we can also guess the # of games he will miss. Nothing to be bothered about really. We all take guesses on here.

As long as people know it's just guessing

High ankle sprain. But not allowed to say that in this thread.

Unless Pro Football Doc had access to Bosa's MRI results, id say his opinion is pretty unreliable for stuff like this. Not to say his guess isn't correct, but why would he know any details from just hearing about it? Seems like speculation based on generic evidence.

I know this new medical staff is treating injuries with way more caution than the previous staff did. Our injury report through camp has been a mile long because they have been putting players on there for anything.

You need to check this man's credentials if you want to call him "unreliable". Dude is a lock. He knows because he knows how the injury occurred, the reports that indicated what it was and the protocol for a high ankle strain. Bosa is moving along the typical high ankle sprain recovery timeline.

The injury occurred the same way as the one to Shon Coleman...I guess Nick is going to miss the rest of the season?

The idea that a doctor can predict when a player he never examined comes back to play because he understands injuries and how they occur and the USUAL recovery process is stupid.

Every case is different. Chao is great for injury news/predictions but he's not batting 1.000. He goes off key words and typical results. The injury is not a straight up high ankle sprain.

He doesn't have the MRI results and he has no info on Bosa's rehab. I don't know who wrote the "like his brother he won't come back until he's 100%" crap but if that came from him then that's even more reason to question his opinion.

Nick is his own dude. We'll see what happens soon enough.

Haha "a guy" lol

He's a doctor, elite reputation, excellent track record of accuracy and was the Chargers lead doc for years. He has zero agenda or narrative to push. Just facts.

Bosa may play week one, but he will not be 100% with that verified high ankle.

Well I think Ny85 is right. How does a doctor correctly diagnose without examining the patient? Having said that, I think one of the reasons Kyle's waffling on Bosa playing that first game is to just throw off the Buc's coaching staff, to make them work extra to figure out what to throw at Kyle from an offensive standpoint. Anytime you make it harder for the opposing coaches, that's always a plus for your side.

This would not be a bad thing at all.

Won't be the end of the world if he misses the first 2 games. We should easily beat the Bucs and Bengals regardless

He doesn't need to diagnose. Bosa has already been diagnosed.
