Ankles Away!

"Ankles Away" for Dwight Freeney

I can't imagine Dwight Freeney of the Indianapolis Colts playing on what has been described as a grade 2 ankle sprain of his right ankle.

Playing right defensive end requires excessive force on the right ankle as he tried to get around the end.

A grade 3 ankle sprain is one in which all 3 of the ligaments that would hold the ankle stable ( bone to bone stability) are torn. This usually fro a professional athlete means surgical correction.

If they send him out to play in the Superbowl it probably means a local anesthetic, lots of tape and a fitted in shoe hinged brace. Without feeling he can certainly have a career threatening result. This certainly brings up a whole host of medical questions.

Lets hope that Dwight chooses whats on his best interest, as it is only a game, be it the Superbowl , walking is not overrated.
