fly eagles fly Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 16 hours ago, ianlewis16 said: What does Xrays are negative mean? No break? Yes, it essentially means that the test for any fractures in the bone was negative. It'd be no different than if somebody had a biopsy done on a tumor and the result was negative for cancer, meaning that they didn't find anything. Regarding the injury, as others noted, he'll need to have an MRI to see if there is ligament or tendon damage. Ligament damage is guaranteed with a dislocation, as a dislocation, is by definition, a separation in the joint where 2+ bones meet. The joint is protected by ligaments, which connect bone to bone. If there is a separation between bones, that means that there has to have been some sort of rupture of the ligaments connecting the bones. The tendon damage (tendons connect bone to muscle) would likely be the result of the bone being displaced and forcibly causing damage to a tendon by putting sudden blunt force on it. Because of the location of the dislocation and the nature of it, it should be relatively mild (or as a mild as an ankle dislocation can be). Without surgery, it will still take a good bit of time to recover, rehab and allow the ligaments to repair themselves. However, they can't know the severity until the MRI comes through so they can determine how badly the ligaments are damaged, now that the dislocation has been reduced ("re-located") and so they can find out if there was tendon damage as well.

Phire Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 He's looking at 4-6 weeks: Quote The Philadelphia Eagles received excellent news on No. 1 cornerback Ronald Darby Monday. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Darby will be out four-to-six weeks with a dislocated ankle. There was no ligament damage in his ankle.

How it looked all locked up...I thought they were going to have to break it. I've had bad ankles my entire career and that gave me the chills.

Danger Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That's shocking based off the footage (no pun intended). The EARLIEST we should see him back is when Washington comes here October 23rd. That'd be 5 weeks recovery accounting for practice needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A break means he's out months plus rehab probably means out for the year. Dislocation and minor tendon or ligament damage means soft cast, a little rehab and back in 4-6 (?) weeks. Darby and Jones mid season redebut? Signing Revis? Coulda saved you guys a lot of trouble just listening to me yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That is the best possible news. Gonna be a rocky 4-6 but good that he can return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
