Is it true that he had ankle problems in high school? If so this might be a playable injury but may be ongoing.

I had ankle problems, from basketball, for years. I had to wear these braces with steel springs in them. Some days it was bad, some days I didn't notice. It could last a day or a month. It's a long road. Happily, for me, the problems never returned once I quit playing.

He might have a long road with this type of thing. Of course, he has a crack training staff too. . .

Yeah, he broke his ankle in his soph. year. Only other significant injury he had was a hip injury that held him out of 2-3 games.

As a Husker guy, I don't know who Aroth and Demetrius are, but if true that's very good news. Sure hope that turns out to be the case for the Bucks!

If it is the Demetrius (sp?) I think of, he is the guy who would grab and twist my nipples in high school. He did this to friends, hilariously. He's a great guy.

He also was a great running back in high school and played as a receiver at OSU. He now hosts a radio program and delivers helpful life messages on his facebook. :)

That's good news for two reasons: 1) that's not a lot of injury for a running quarterback and seems better than "he was injured a lot in high school," 2) a broken ankle is much less likely to recur. Even if this were to happen, I bet if, for instance, I had a physical therapist in high school I wouldn't have had it go on so long. It is weakness in the tendons and the little muscles in the ankle that creep up repeatedly. A broken bone just heals. Also, his sophomore year was long ago: this isn't chronic.

He probably just rolled it and will get better.

Who knows how many the injuries the kid had? He's a gamer. There would be numerous times, he'd come up from the bottom of a pile limping, new QB comes in for one play and Braxton comes straight back in the game. The kid just wants to succeed by any means necessary. I'm glad he's a Buckeye.

I'm rewatching the game from DVR and I just got to that play last night. It looked really similar to the injury Martinez suffered last year, the high ankle sprain, that knocked his production into the cellar.

For your sake I hope that's not the case. Presuming that was Brax in the pic posted earlier, hopefully he's fine.

He also rolled his ankle on that nationally televised game against Moeller last year which held him out a few games.

"Therefore, arise, thou Son of Kunti! brace
Thine arm for conflict, nerve thy heart to meet-
As things alike to thee- pleasure or pain,
Profit or ruin, victory or defeat:
So minded, gird thee to the fight, for so
Thou shalt not sin!"
