THANKS!!!!!

Do you have any sources for this comment or are you just playing cyber doctor? The only thing that I've heard is probable high ankle sprain, which would likely put him out for at least a few weeks.

 

[wannabee]

While watching the Cincy/NO game, the announcers (maybe Enberg) said at the end of the game that Colston had a high ankle sprain. That could have been a guess. I do not know. But it was said on that broadcast

Do you have a link for this or if not, can you tell us where you got this info (local New Orleans radio show, post-game press conference, etc.)?

Entrails. The signs were positive.

 

[Bankerguy]

Nope....nothing concrete other than what they said during the game.

I guess i am playing cyber doctor...... it really didn't look too serious.

Relax everyone

 

[gbill2004]

I heard its a high ankle sprian and those can take 2-6 weeks to recover from, depending on the severity and the person.

Marques Colston Wide ReceiverSaints Colston was injured his ankle in the first quarter of the game against the Bengals and was carted from the sideline to the locker room. His status for next week's game at Atlanta is unknown.There you go.....here is an "official" quote/link.

During the game (i.e. the announcers), and Fanball both speculate its a high ankle sprain. I added the estimated recovery time based on past similar injuries.

Putting aside Colston specifically, how the heck do announcers predict "high" ankle sprain as opposed to a "low" ankle sprain?? Is this typical pulling crap out of thin air, or is there some realistic way, even though it's not definitive, to predict, just from watching the injury occur, whether it will be a "high" ankle sprain or not?

 

[DocGonzo]

It's very possible they just pull it out of thin air. I did hear the announcers speculating high ankle sprain and they qualified it by noting they were guessing that based solely on the area of his leg the training staff was attending to on the sideline. I think we're just going to have to relax and wait a little while on this one...

I think they pull it out of their asses. As for Colston, he didn't look too bad on the sidelines later in the game. Was hopping around on it a bit, seeing if they would let him back in the game.

No link. Payton on local radio this morning. Said they'd know more later today, but he had not heard any of the Saint docs call it "the dreaded high ankle" (his words). Hopes to have him for Atlanta this week.

It was pretty obvious to the color man that it was a high ankle sprain once they showed just how the training staff was working Colston's leg. Colston was trying it out, but he was pretty far from having a shot of getting back on the field. He eventually left the field on the medical cart, and received a walking boot.

Colston's injury restricts game plan

Monday, November 20, 2006

By Jimmy Smith

Rookie wide receiver Marques Colston went down on the Saints' third offensive play with what club officials termed "a high ankle sprain."

Colston did not return to the field in the second half, receiving treatment on his left ankle instead. He was fitted with a walking boot to keep the foot immobilized.

As Colston lay on the field being tended to by the Saints training staff, the crowd of 68,001 chanted "Colston, Colston, Colston."

Almost on cue, Colston got up and started walking off the field. The crowd cheered, then got louder when Colston, the current favorite for NFL Rookie of the Year honors, trotted off the rest of the way.

"I had my back turned to the play, trying to make a block, and the pile went right up on my leg," Colston said. "I tried to give it a go. But I just couldn't do it today. I don't know too much about (the injury) yet. I'll come back in (today) and see exactly what's going on. I got some ice on it (at halftime) to try to keep the swelling down. You obviously want to be out there fighting with your teammates. But I just wasn't able to go today."

Either that's highly optimistic, or the team was being super-cautious yesterday. Guess we'll see.

Looks like the dreaded high ankle sprain..

WR Marques Colston reportedly suffered a high sprained ankle in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati.

X-rays were negative, but Colston was immediately fitted for a walking boot and his status going forward is uncertain. Most high ankle sprains means multiple games missed. "I had my back turned to the play, trying to make a block, and the pile went right up on my leg," Colston said. "I tried to give it a go. But I just couldn't do it today. I don't know too much about (the injury

Depends on the degree of the ankle sprain. Portis was fitted for a boot for high ankle sprain. They had a bye week the following, so he had an extra week. However, he said if he had to play during the bye week he would have. Of course Portis sprained his ankle in the middle of the game and was able to play the rest of the game. Could mean Portis is more tolarable to pain, or Colston's sprain is worse. Keep the updates coming.

Yes, but . . . watching Portis in the game following the bye, he was not explosive at all, something that was disguised by the fact that he subsequently suffered that hand injury and left the game early. IMHO he was clearly still affected by that ankle injury and was not the same runner.

I did not see the game, so you may be correct. Thanks for info. He did carry the ball 6 times for 25 yards and a catch for 6, so you would not think he was hindered much.

Colston is still alive

sorry no link

 

[rockbottom895]

Ok boys, it is official. He has a high ankle sprain. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/HeadLines.aspx?sport=NFL

Although the time table has yet to be set for his return, prepare for the worst. He could miss up to 4 more games. Pick up whichever TE you think will become the most productive for your fantasy team. My trade deadline has already passed, so im screwed. I also have KJ. Im finished.

This also happened with Stephen Davis back in 1999 when the Redskins made the playoffs. He too was greatly hampered by this. Not all high ankle sprains are alike, but what's clear is that is in general the worst area to have an ankle sprain and it can really only heal with time and rest, two things which are not in abundance during an NFL season and a playoff race.

Sorry, but a color man can't diagnose the injury by seeing how the training staff is working on it. This is all semantics anyway. Even if it is a "high ankle sprain", we don't know which ligament(s) was damaged and what the severity is.

With a high ankle sprain the damaged ligaments are the sendismotic ligaments in between the tibia and fibula. They tend to take longer to heal then regular sprains, but it does depend on the severity.

How is that "official" ? WR Marques Colston reportedly suffered a high sprained ankle in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati.

As I posted earlier, Payton said they'd know more later today. I'm guessing we'll probably hear some more definitive news out of his 1230pm (central time) press conference.

I think I'll wait on an "official" diagnosis of his injury...but I'm not holding my breath.

You mean Devery "Stone Hands" Henderson? As a Saints fan and Colston/Henderson owner. I would rather Colston, and he is not played as a TE in my league......Hey, I wonder if Henderson will be considered a TE. He is playing in the same position as Colston.

In a "high ankle sprain" is usually only the sendismotic ligament. In a bad sprain the others could be involved as well, and that is perhaps what you mean. If that is the case he will be out for a while.

Your right he only started one game..oh well..week11 9/169 week10 did not play..week9 3/111 2 TD's.You see Copper backs up Horn if hurt and starts and Henderson does it for Colston..

My point is that the syndesmotic ligament is not just "one" ligament. It includes the AITFL and the PITFL in addition to the interosseus membrane/ligament.
