I mean, an ankle sprain can still be pretty significant. But like we saw with Shepard, it can also be pretty short term.
Just hope the x rays are clean and then hope he's ready to go for Dallas. This could have been worse. If his foot was really planted in there, he could have torn ligaments easily.
His knee actually bends the way it is supposed to upon being hit. His foot gets caught in the turf and it looks like a great deal of stress was placed on the ankle. I don't think it is the knee. Hopefully an ankle sprain he can come back from in a few weeks.
Someone's bound to do it either way. I'm not angry with this.
Chock full of discussion
Really? Is he supposed to sit his starters for the entire preseason?
It looked like his knee to me

He played them one drive into the second quarter.
Blame Gregg Williams for coaching yet another dirty ass defense.

You realize a high ankle sprain could be a 2-3 month injury if it's bad?
I did - I thought that was why he went down after he tried to get up. I think he got his bell rung.
They said he cleared protocol so that's good - but now we have to hope the x rays are negative on the ankle.

But Odell was walking right afterwards. No way he does that if it is a high ankle sprain. You can't walk for several minutes after high anklevsprain

Yeah, I don't think the ankle was the real problem.
I'm actually surprised he cleared protocol but that's obviously great news.
Exactly. I don't known why this isn't the big issue here. Nothing was to be gained by having him out there. And same with Eli now.
If you look at the slo mo replay, his toes get stuck in the turf and his ankle snaps back to where it was supposed to be... like a high ankle sprain

That's an awful take.

Second blame goes to Hugh Jackson for hiring Greg Williams.
And Roger Goodell should get some blame for not banning Greg Williams for life.
What do you expect from the crotchety chief of thread police? It's pathetic to witness.
This was fully threadworthy. Signs are the Giants caught a break, but keep the updates coming...we all got our fingers crossed.
