Thomas back at practice

Dont know if we can find out what the exact injury was to the ankle but...

I'll start out by saying I have no facts to back this up but I first thought Daniel Thomas had the grade 3 ankle sprain.It's basketball player high ankle sprain which requires 6-8 weeks to heel.Then I heard he had a fractured ankle which is the better of the injuries from what my doctors told me.

When I got a high ankle sprain ( grade 3 ) as soon as I did it I heard a pop which was the ligament popping from the bone.The first thing my doctor said "you would have better off breaking your ankle because it would take 3-6 weeks to heel."All my toes turned blue along with some of my ankle.I couldn't walk for 1 week even with crutches, couldnt put weight on it until the 10th day and couldn't walk without a crutch intil the 18th day.I couldn't run on it untill the 5th week lightly.By the 6th week it heeled but was too nervous to tweak it.It took 7 weeks before it felt back to normal.Was running on it in the 8th week.

Grade 3 sprain does not require surgery,fractures dont either in most case unless they are severe.
