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.
