If he still had a partial palsy where it was the ability to flex was touch and go then he would still be wearing something. At worst it is a strength and endurance issue and with how he trains and the season being over 5 months away you have to like his chances.
Thats not necessary true. I walk at times without mine. I even walk barefoot at times. Not easy but I do it. But walking with just a shoe and no afo isn't hard. There are some people who have drop your and don't wear a afo. They just compensate by lifting their leg higher similar to March or it swing it out wide.

That's what my Mother did when she had drop foot. She'd just lift her knee higher. She never used a brace... but she wasn't exactly active either.

Two year's after she got it, she woke up and her leg was completely normal.

It's photo shopped. Seen the same pic on twitter somewhere and he was wearing the brace. Nice try.

The brace was Photoshoped out.
Yep... here is a closeup of his leg before the photoshop:

*sigh* ima gonna wait until TC to see what he has...I am hopeful (like everyone) else that he is healthy...if so, he will help to transform the defense...I think Tapper has an impact as well....get us more defense with 2 of the first 3 picks (maybe 3, I can see a TE being a pick in there) and then the defense is going to start to look pretty good...

Yeah, it just depends what I'm doing. Yesterday I didn't wear it but today I was grilling outside, so I wore it.
