Jackson had “reconstructive surgery” on ankle

Austin Jackson underwent reconstructive ankle surgery

Ankle injuries limited Austin Jackson to only two games last season with the Dolphins.

I don’t get this. How does a sprained ankle merit reconstructive surgery? And how can they have confidence in him coming off what sounds like major surgery. I’m hoping he just mischaracterized the surgery.

Hey, if they could rebuild one Austin back in the 70's , maybe there's hope for our Austin too

Quite possibly not.

Sprains are a really broad term that covers a lot of ligament injuries…and there are a lot of ligaments in an ankle.

Torn ligaments can equal reconstructive surgery.

I like when players get angry.

Just the degree to which they looked for his replacement. Wynn and the ex Jets OT. Meh.

Plus that whole <paraphrased> “You guys are a lot more concerned about the OL than we are” comment from McDaniel. That was…curious.

Well that better explains why he was out for so long last season.

Just hope the ankle surgery and rehab went well. Not all do.

That was a great show* and I am still surprised it has not been rebooted.

Silly as hell but lots of fun, even when i was a kid i knew that having some bionic body parts would play havoc with his normal body parts. Having a bionic arm that can lift tons would have just torn off his flesh and blood shoulder.



*Try to find the episode where he fights Bigfoot. 70's insanity at its finest.

Also the gorgeous Lindsay Wagner(huge crush back in the day) as The Bionic Woman had a bionic ear but she had to brush her hair out of the way to hear anything, fricking comedy gold!
