Ya, not that either is good but an ankle to me doesn't usually carry the same dread about recovery length and lingering issues.
Dang , probably Dan Beebe telling the camp coaches to give him difficult passes.
Once I have a scholarship. I wouldnt waste time in these camps.
I totally agree.
Look...this is like winning the lotto and then driving to the lotto place with the ticket hanging out the car window.
so a possible earlier signing period whereas the schools could say not to participate?
or is that too much like Iowa saying "if you keep looking, then you can just keep looking"
- asking for people I haven't met yet.....
is the CB Sports Book going to lower the Bell West W's total now? - guessing the 1620 crew

Here's a free article describing the injury as a sprained ankle, NOT broken so good news:
Ankle Sprain
Ankle Sprain
Not so sure this is great news. Anybody who has had a bad ankle sprain in the past knows they can easily be re-sprained. Clean breaks normally heal well and don’t have any residual affect. I hope this is a one time thing, but would not be surprised if this becomes a recurring problem for the young man. I certainly hope it doesn’t.
Fractured ankles though are not a great deal either. Just due to the nature of the bones, a fractured ankle can quickly turn to arthritis and be career ending. Ankle sprains no doubt can be a life long injury. I'm paying for one I sustained as a high schooler some 40+ years later. Unfortunately there's not good ankle replacement hardware.
A break is never "better" than a sprain.
These are young kids, not old ass doods likes us...Boot will be off in a week. He will be fine and running routes by the end of July.

It all depends on what bone is fractured and what is sprained and how severe it is. A "severe" ankle sprain implies near complete tearing of ligaments in the ankle. That can have long lasting effects. Most ligament tears in an ankle aren't great surgical candidates. A non-displaced fracture can on the other hand heal nicely in 4 weeks with no long term effects whatsover. Blanket statements don't fit orthopedic injuries.
Lots of doctors on free board for huskers online....good to know.
damaged tissues are magnets for oxalate crystals and bacteria. Osteoarthritis is an immune system related disease
Good grief.......the kid sprained his ankle and some on here think he'll be hobbled for life! 
This has become an old wives tale...like sitting close to the TV will hurt your vision or drinking caffeine will stunt your growth or cracking your knuckles will give you arthritis or that if a pitbull has a nice owner it won't eat a baby or if you change the direction you mow your grass will be greener.

I’m going to guess that most humans sprain an ankle at some point in thier lives..
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4465583/I’m going to have to disagree with you here. There’s primary and secondary parts to Osteoarthritis and none of them are immune responses that I’m aware of.
One of the best ways to avoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases to to avoid high oxalate foods (plants).

yeah. kidney stones are the most immediate/known symptom but not everyone with oxalate issues get kidney stones.
Oxalates also lead to calcification of soft tissues like ligaments, muscles and synovium. Osteoarthritis is probably the result of natural wear and tear along with calcium oxalate deposits interrupting recovery and a permanent low grade immune response to the oxalate poisons.
Do the chondrocytes (cartilage) get worn down or do they get replaced with calcium? I'm thinking the latter.
This. He will be fine as long as he doesn't push it too quickly, which is easy to do with a sprain. He needs to hit the weight room but be careful what he does. Athletes almost never give their bodies enough time to heal.
It is July...he is already the best player on his HS team and the best in the state...he will lay off it until the first week of practice and still be the best player in the state.
Osteoarthritis can be immune mediated but you are wrong to imply that the immune system is the root of all osteoarthritis. I have never read in any text book or journal or heard stated at any meeting that all osteoarthritis is an immune system related disease. Never. Arthritis from acute or chronic trauma is a complicated but non-suppurative inflammatory process.
Cartilage gets worn down. Period. As we age in particular our ability to replace worn cells decreases. In the case of chronic inflammation in the joint, the bodies ability to replace damaged chondrocytes does not keep up with the deterioration. Another little emphasized fact is that some non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as aspirin and Ibuprofen actually can hasten deteriorization of cartilage by inhibiting chondroblast recruitment to the injured damaged tissue. It is a complicated biochemical process. You understanding of calcification of chronically inflammed tissues is over simplified. Calling it an immune response is not the usual explanation of the process.
