Auctoritas 2,828 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Nick Fitzgerald just got a gruesome injury. Looks like a broken ankle - unfortunately it took ESPN about 10 seconds to realize that his foot was the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Terrible! I hate that for this young man. He is such a competitor. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed he was tackled at an awkward angle, saw him grab his knee...then saw the ankle. Rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,579 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything like that before. Praying that he has as speedy and as painless a recovery as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanFAN 1,666 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 That was defiantly ugly. The camera was on Fitzgerald holding his leg. His ankle was a good 90 degrees the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Awful. Such a good player. Makes you thankful Stidham hasn’t been hurt as much as he’s been sacked this year. Meow, and backup QB goes for 30 yards on the run. Not sure after seeing that I would let my QB run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFE12 9,191 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 OMG...was it like Gordon Heyward's injury? I'm glad I wasn't watching. I could hardly stand that. Prayers to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That camera should have been cut as soon as you could see it. Gruesome, Theisman and Heyward like injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 The ultimate reality of life as a running QB in the SEC. Fitzgerald finally getting recognition as a guy who could carry that offense and he sustains what looked like it might be career threatening. The idea of "just a dislocation" seems far fetched from what I saw. The bottom of his leg bone was outside of his foot. If he doesn't have nerve damage he will be fortunate.

around4ever 4,139 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 A tibia and fibula break may be the lesser injury. A dislocation that severe will have multiple ligament damages and possible nerve damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he played for Bama, it saddened me to see such a great player’s career cut short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he got a nice little shot to dull the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,368 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We shouldn’t forget that Treadwell also had a pretty grotesque injury and he was able to come back in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 This was posted on Twitter by Christopher Smith who has no affiliation with MSU but it sounds plausible. "FWIW, fiancee (medical provider) says Nick Fitzgerald has an ankle fracture, displaced. Says he'll likely need ORIF (OPEN reduction internal fixation) surgery. (Plates and metals in ankle.) ~1 year of physical therapy. Possible nerve damage." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The angle of the foot and the way the ankle bone is protruding is eerily similar to Hayward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
