That’s gotta be more than a 2 hour ordeal, right?
Good thing we had an extra day due to playing on Saturday. Flying in Voodoo Mama Juju from the Guatemala Jungles takes a few days - if you can even find her. [Reply]

Play action bomb on the first offensive play of the game [Reply]
This injury is 100% pain tolerance and pain management. Playing on it won't make it any worse as long as taped correctly. It just won't heal until rested properly.
Biggest concern will be getting it rolled up on or tackled by that leg. Will hurt like a mother fucker. [Reply]

Would certainly like to hear opinions from some orthopedics on if inside 70 degrees or outside 16 degrees is better for an injured ankle. It seems once the swelling goes down you would prefer warmth from everything Ive been reading but never had a high ankle sprain myself. [Reply]

Yup and on top of that we have no idea what grade it is but Mahomes walking out without a boot on his foot seems to point to it being a very low level sprain. [Reply]
