Good news on Gregory?

[TheDuke]

He's been impressive every time he's taken the field. I can't wait to see him back in action. Hopefully this news is true.

I didn't say rush him back if he's not healthy. The Cowboys aren't going to do that. They won't play him unless he's healthy enough to play. There's always a risk for further injury. If he has to miss two games that's fine, but if he is ready to go next week against Atlanta then he should be out there.

I see what you were saying. I misunderstood you, sorry.

Jamaal Charles was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain last year. Missed one game.

I remember that. At least in my ff league. I picked up Kniles Davis he did work for that one game and never to be heard from again. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery but only if everything checks out.

Even a minor high ankle sprain is going to limit his effectiveness and I doubt the Cowboys are going to play him until his ankle is pretty good to go or it could hamper him through a number of games. This could be something he could reaggravate and it could linger.

After how bad the ACL tear I mean that Achilles tear errr I mean that ankle sprain looked I figured he was done for the year

Pretty fortunate. It looked a whole lot worse.

As people mentioned, NIck said after the Sunday's game, he saw Gregory running around playing with some little kid .

Nick wasn't sure if he was really badly injured after seeing him do this.

Man, the way he went down I thought it was his knee for sure! We're so lucky he should be back this season! Incredible!

As I said in the breaking news thread-

Each ankle sprain in different. I was on crutches on Monday, then playing Saturday in college.

The ones where the ligaments popped were the ones that I feared the most

Pretty fortunate. It looked a whole lot worse.

Looking at the video of his injury, it doesn't look that bad to me. It looks awkward.

But if you look at it closely, Gregory foot position means that he is putting all his downward force on the toes and inside upper edge of his foot. It appears that the foot then slips under the weight causing the shin and knee to fall to the ground. I can see how the torque of this weight goes from the edge of the foot rolling to the upper ankle.

I can also see how this might just be a mild upper ankle sprain.

The knee never buckles. Watch it in slow motion.

I can also see in real time why some might think it was an achilles as the ankle appears to collapse - but in actuality the foot slips making it look similar.

Nothing ever looks that bad to you, you claimed the block Romo took that leveled him after the int to Street that caused him to stay down for a few seconds and grimace as he got up was nothing but a "tap." The video of Gregory's injury looked pretty scary it appeared at first like he may have suffered a serious knee injury.

I doubt they rush Gregory back. Based on the promise he's shown, can you imagine him teamed with Greg Hardy on third and long?

Look at the video hombre. And you're right, I'm not a nervous nanny like you.

 

[sureletsrace]

This is fantastic news. I'm so excited about this guy.

 

[burmafrd]

high ankle sprains have not been the boys friend. I remember several times over the years where it was supposedly a one or two week injury and the player was out for a month or more.

Everyone on the live game chat was holding their breath when Gregory went down fearing it was a knee. He's a player the Cowboys can ill afford to lose and it first appeared it could be serious. Trust me you were holding your breath like everyone else after he went down but you come on here after the fact acting like you weren't even fazed by it. LOL
