fully functional again or at least in time to get any use out of his play? If I were an owner that is what I'd be thinking and if I were going to sign him, it would only be at bargain-basement salary, given the risks.

Is this guy nuts?

I guess he isn’t in any pain. He’s president of Kanye’s sports line of clothes.

Nutjob? Yes. Bum ankle? Maybe. Both? No way.

When a broken bone has healed incorrectly, you don't want to know what the surgeon has to do to fix it.

(I know personally as I broke my leg and ankle at the beginning of the covid pandemic 2 years ago, when most of the surgical centers were closed. Surgeons and ER docs let me what would happen if I didn't get surgery repair in a timely fashion.)

This guy is an idiot.

I had a really good surgeon, rods and pins holding the bones together.
And really strenuous physical therapy.

I can walk fine. But if a football player has to squat down and get back up, this could take awhile to do it without pain. I still cannot do it even with all the PT.

He was a little flaky before. Since then he has been insane.

They did fusion surgery on it. It will never be quite the same, but it improves all the time.

Brown needs to have his head examined, too.
