I broke and dislocated my left ankle when I was in the Navy. My foot was wrenched around almost backwards to where it's supposed to be. Had emergency surgery. They broke it back into place, and installed metal plates on both sides connected by three screws through the bones. With physical therapy and everything it was a 6 month recovery time to walk around and be able to work normally.

1. Ouch. A kid I played soccer with in HS had that happen with his knee. Still remember the physical sensation it gave ME to look at that...

2. Yeah, Fountain ain't back until next OTAs at the EARLIEST. Probably training camp. This sounded like a complete dislocation.

Yeah, it was pretty bad and it ultimately lead to me getting an early out from the Navy. I figure that if Fountain's ankle was anything close to how mine was he'd be out for the season. He's out.
