Jansen's dislocated ankle
 

Is this a season ending injury or can he come back? Any ankle experts?

Gone......Very sad! Can't dwell on it though have to move forward!

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

Is that the official word? Out for the season?

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

I know other players have lost a season to this. However all the ones I can think of were WR or RBs. I can't remember a OL getting it. Linemen usually get knee injuries not ankle. I am wondering if his weight means a longer recovery or the fact that he doesn't need to cut and turn on it like a WR or RB does means he might return faster.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

No official word yet.

Gibbs said he's not sure. So we probably won't know till Monday.

A dislocated ankle is NOT a season ending injury. It's a bitch to come back from...so he will likely miss 4-6 weeks.
If he misses the entire season, he also tore a lot ligaments...so it depends on how bad this is. If it's a pure dislocation, he will be back!

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

I spoke to a Physical Therapist about this. She said it is entirely dependant upon the amount of damage incurred when the ankle was dislocated. In other words, it isn't the dislocation that will be the problem, the damage done to the tendons will be the big thing. He could be back this year, or he could be out for the season, there's no way of knowing until they find out how much damage was done to the ankle.

Stephon came in a played a good game. So I am not to worried about losing him like I was back in 04.

He's still a rookie. Just cause he played fairly well doesn't mean we shouldn't be worried about his absence...Jansen is still a top tackle in this league and is very hard to replace!

I feel awful for Jansen and, if he misses the season, we will suffer. But, in all honesty, I wonder whether he has much left in the tank. He will be 32 next season and hasn't looked like "the Rock" since 2003.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

if this turns out to be it for him...he sure was an amazing redskin, in a time of disloyalty and free agency, he has been a measure of consistency

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

If there is no ligament damage he can come back 8-10 weeks depending on severity. If there is ligament damage he is done for the season.

What I'm hearing right now doesn't look good. Still holding out hope though. You gotta wonder though, as you say, how much he's got left. Or how many more times he wants to go through another injury like this. He's already got a tv career lined up it seems so...

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

Well, I don't see this as an all bad thing. He was getting bullied in preseason (I know it's preseason), and he just hasn't looked the same the last couple of years. I think Heyer going up against Jason Taylor looked pretty good.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

My, how fast people forget and turn on you.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

He was in some serious pain, I hope he's able to come back soon because he's definitely our best RT and losing him obviously hurts our depth.

I agree...but I don't think we will know until his MRI.
I am just hoping it's a pure dislocation, then he'll be back in 4-6.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

Redskins.com is reporting that it is a fractured dislocation of the ankle, and that "the injury would appear to end Jansen's season."

DAMN DAMN Damn.

I have loved Jansen on this line. He has been the most stable lineman, when not hurt, that we have had during his career. I hope he comes back later this season(wishful thinking) or next year.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

so if it ends his season for sure do we put him on IR and look for another body ? or do we see if he can be back intime for possible playoffs?

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

This is horrible news.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

I've heard he's probably looking at around 4 months before he can even start rehabbing the ankle

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

It's going to be tough road for him. I wish him well.

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

This sucks. So now we pretty much have Wade or Heyer taking his spot? I hope we stay healthy in the line for the rest of the year.

The trade for Kendall is looking better every day.

NOOOOO!!!!
I hope they are wrong...damn that sucks.

I highly doubt they would report something on the official website without making sure. Only thing we can hope for is a speedy TO like recovery.

you said it.
Makes that 4th or 5th rounder look like nothing doesn't it?

But usually they go to professionals for an MRI on monday with injuries like these. That's what I meant by I hope they are wrong...I hope it's just their primary thought, but after the swelling goes down the MRI will reveal it's not as bad.
Just let me live in my own little world of not wanting him to be gone for the season...at least for another day. :D

You don't need a MRI to show a fracture, x-rays do that just fine. The MRI will only show damage to the muscles and tendons.

But the average fracture of an ankle (according to webmd) only takes 4-8 weeks. So why are the Skins doctors thinking he's out for the season?

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

ESPN just scrolled on the bottom that its a broken ankle, which is the same as a fracture...see ya next year Jansen...

Re: Jansen's discolated ankle
 

Hopefully Heyer can play like he did today. I think after some brushing up on technique he could be a premier tackle in this league.

Why is a fracture a season ending injury?

Well I'm not a doctor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn. Seriously though, my understanding from speaking with some medical professionals, is that the 4-8 weeks is merely the time it takes for the ankle to look back to normal. But then that's around the time you can start rehabbing and using your ankle, getting the full range of motions, etc. And that process can take a few months.

This sounds about right to me. I don't know, another season ending injury for Jansen. I wish 'em luck. He's a true Redskins.

I actually did break my ankle in high school (granted I was younger than Jansen) and I was back playing soccer on it in 7 weeks...and they had to force me to stay off the field cause I wanted to by week 5 or so.
Maybe I'm a quick healer, and maybe it was my age...but soccer requires your ankles more than football. At this point, I just don't see why it's a season long injury unless ligaments / tendons were snapped too.

I fractured my ankle sliding into 2nd my freshman year of high school...and my "wonderful" coach decided to cut me on the spot. Great guy, there I am lying on the field, writhing in pain. And he says "Listen, we're going to go ahead and cut you" Last game of spring training before the season starts. He didn't even need to cut anyone

Anyhow, a lot I think with Jansen will depend on how quickly they make a decision on what to do.

But hey, I'm also holding out hope that what I'm hearing is wrong and he's back sooner than later.
