Any news on Barber.

[cammycam2 173]

Nothing but that its supposedly an ankle injury. I think we will find out after the game

[AUbritt 611]

Apparently, it's his ankle. Haven't heard severity, or even a diagnosis.

[JamesG 0]

As long as it's not a knee

[bigbird 60,461]

It looked like a high ankle sprain. When you roll your ankle so that the outside of your foot touches the ground you get a regular ankle sprain. When you roll your ankle so that the inside of your foot touches the ground you get a high ankle sprain. In actuality, it's not your ankle at all, it's a strain of the anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments. These are the ligaments that give support and structure to the junction between your tarsals and tibia and fibula.

High ankle sprains are bad news, unfortunately. Hope bird is wrong.

[bigbird 60,461]

They can be more nagging than other sprains. When you see them pressing and feeling on the outside of the lower leg it usually means they are checking for a high ankle sprain. That's what it looked like they were doing to me.

[cammycam2 173]

I guess i feel like most anything is better than the acl tear most of us originally thought of

[chimesAU 89]

Ankle sprains can be worse than a break. Glad it isn't his knee but sprains can really nag for a long time.

Im not a doctor, maybe someone here is, but isn't 3 1/2 months enough for even a really bad high ankle sprain to heal??

[bigbird 60,461]

it all depends on the severity. I've seen some come back within a week or two and another that was out for months.

Very good to hear. Sad that he didn't get to really play today, but at least he won't miss playing time.

I've had a sprain take close to 6 months to fully heal.

Excellent news!

[tigerwings 75]

It could be an avulsion fracture. I had one two years ago. I was crossfitting a month later. So by summer workouts he should be full force.

Funny

[alexava 6,973]

Thx. I was just above him and figured it wasn't too bad when they brought him back out.

[Sully to Beasley 643]

Poor Barber...first carry resulted in a fumble and an injury. Thankfully the injury is not supposed to be serious. This kid is going to be a big time back IMHO.

[Tiger 8,818]

Will we actually get the story? Seems this staff doesn't like to give only vague updates.

[chimesAU 89]

Everyone points out the fumble. He fumbled it because of the injury.

Gus said he will probably be ok. What more could you want?

You probably won't hear anything more before you see him on the practice field this fall.
