Did anyone see Dak try and bang is foot on the turf

[Dre11]

to try and fix his ankle? I just rewatched the game and saw him bang it on the turf trying to put it back in place.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I did. I wondered at the time if it did more harm to the injury because it was clearly a fracture.

Tough dude.

 

[JayFord]

If he coulda stood up he wouldve went back in

it would’ve been like the time Leftwich broke his leg in college and his lineman had to carry him to the line after the play

My wife actually picked up on that before I did. Maybe he thought it was dislocated and he could pop it into place? That seems a little far fetched, but it's the only explanation I can think of. It does show how desperately he wanted to play though. Gotta love that.

Shock response. People often do that when they see a limb in a wrong position like that.

Creepy. Can't imagine that. I can't even watch those replays.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

This is not a shot at Dak at all, just curious.

Didn't Walt Garrison play a game against SF in the playoffs with a broken ankle? I couldn't imagine what that took.

yeah I was just thinking he was trying to stay in the game if he could put it back in place

I think I heard he tried to "shake it back" Clearly it was worse than that. CeeDee said he had to turn away, I believe he was pretty close.

Speaking of SF I still remember Ronnie Lott having part of his pinky cut off so he wouldnt miss a game

Dak is tough as nails. He remained remarkably calm for such a horrible injury.

I think it was a broken arm or collar bone.
Many remember it as a broken leg or ankle or foot. But is was an upper body part.

Tough dude.

it probably did, I ruptured my patella where my knee cap was half way up my thigh, folks players were yelling don't grab it, I did and it went further up my thigh. no pain though, it was weird.

Just looked it up.

He had a broken collarbone and a serious ankle injury. Trainers had to use 36 yards of tape to get his ankle in useable shape for the Super Bowl.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Crazy that he literally tried snapping and slamming it back into place like that. Dude didn’t even care about the pain, he was trying to fix it and go back in. Love that attitude. I really feel for him man. Seeing the teams reactions was crazy. Gallup has his hands on his helmet, Schultz looked defeated. Crazy how one player has so much impact. Team’s gonna have a different vibe these next coming weeks.

 

[jwooten15]

He acted as if nothing was bothering him at all lol.

I feel bad for the guy. But he's got the right attitude for this -- he'll overcome the injury and be even better in the future.

One tough guy!

I was watching and it took me a few seconds to register that his foot was sideways.

"You really hope it's not a cramp here, Jim"

I was like Jesus, Romo what are you looking at lol

 

[America's Cowboy]

That's my QB!!! TOUGH AS NAILS! He will definitely be back!

 

[JohnsKey19]

That was nuts.

Remember Byron Jones popped his knee back into place after a minor dislocation during a game a few years ago.

Id be flopping around like a fish if i saw my ankle like that
