I don't want to see him play... an ankle needs some rest. And the
likelihood of him
making it worse, is very high. I'd rather be without him now, for a couple
of weeks, than
lose him later in the season.
Thus, the answer to your question: If Rex allows him to play, Rex should be
shot & dumped
at sea like ObL.

Nah, worst is the pain, and they'll shoot him up for that. It would only
affect a guy with speed.

I'd hope that Mangold would be making noises about playing even before he can. Like a thoroughbred racehorse wants to run on a bad leg. That's what they're paying so much money for.
OTOH I hope the coaches and doctors will keep him the hell off the field until there is no risk that he'll make the injury worse -- or we may wind up paying him a whole lot of money for nothing.
Remember what happened to Jenkins last year when they said "70% recovered is good enough to play, and without any knee brace that would slow him down too".
This from the Rothman Institute probably says more about why he can't play
yet...I would imagine in someone his size it is even more critical to get it
stable. I was always under the impression that a high ankle sprain was
nothing to take lightly.
"High Ankle Sprain
This condition occurs when the sprain injures the large ligament above the
ankle that joins the two bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula,
together. The fibula and the tibia are joined together by the syndesmotic
ligament which runs from the knee down to the ankle.
Treatment
High ankle sprains simply tend not to heal as quickly as the more common
ankle sprains. An orthopaedic physician will begin treatment by first
determining if the injury is stable or unstable. A stable injury is one in
which the tibia and fibula do not separate from each other. These injuries
can be treated in a cast or walking boot that will be worn for approximately
six weeks.
When the injury is more severe and unstable, the tibia and fibula separate
from each other. The treatment for this is surgical which involves placing
a screw between the fibula and tibia to secure the bones in proper position
while the ligament heals. This treatment is generally considered a
relatively safe and trusted surgical procedure."
