there allot of tendons involved with a ankle . i would rather break than sprange my ankle. i as hit by a car when i was around 11. compound break of the leg, but the bigger issue was my ankle got fricked, Achilles tendon was ripped out by the peddle peg. break was 6 months heal. ankle 9.
I have to say I am impressed with my Redskins defense , 10 sacks on the day, int, countless 3 and outs, then Captain K coming in and killing it. Nothing worst then watching RG3 jack up his ankle or Djak collarbone.
