AnkleGate: The Dwight Freeney Story

Because of all the information (and misinformation) that has circulated about I felt compelled to compile all the information to get a better understanding of the second most important ankle on the Indianapolis Colts roster.
This all began when Freeney stepped on the foot of Mark Sanchez injuring his right ankle. The ankle turned inward which suggests an Lateral Ligament Spain, the most common type of ankle sprain.
The real question is what grade level is the sprain.
|
Stage 1 |
Stage 2 |
Stage 3 |
|
|
Edems/Ecchymosis (Bruising) |
Localized/Slight |
Localized/Moderate |
Diffuse/Significant |
|
Weight Bearing Ability |
Full or Partial Without Significant Pain |
Difficult Without Crutches |
Impossible Significant Pain |
|
Ligament Pathology (ligament damage) |
Ligament Stretch |
Partial Tear |
Complete Tear |
|
Return to Sporting Activities (recovery time) |
11 days |
2-6 weeks |
4-26 weeks |
ESPN's John Clayton reported that Freeney has been in a walking boot all week and has been receiving hyperbaric chamber and ARP treatment.
I have heard of no reports that Freeney has needed the assistance of crutches, and since he has been walking on the ankle (hence, walking boot) then we could effectively rule out a Grade III sprain.
Craig Kelley, a Colts spoke person released this statement,
He is under the care of our athletic training staff. Nothing we have seen changes our diagnosis that he is questionable. He has a third-degree, low basketball sprain.
But that is what doesn't make sense. If it was a third degree sprain then he wouldn't be able to put weight on the foot at all and we know that he has. For those who are thinking that this is misinformation released by the Colts to confuse the Saintsinto preparing for Freeney than why say it a third degree sprain which means a full rupture of the ligament rather then a much less serious level I or II sprain. That doesn't add up.
So I'm confident that Dwight Freeney suffered a Level II sprain of the lateral ligament.
So what treatment is Freeney using?
Other than RICE (rest,ice, compression and elevation) a hyperbaric chamber is being utilized which theoretically allows for quicker healing times for soft tissue injuries by increasing the blood flow to the swollen region, but its effectiveness has been called into question.
Freeney has also been using ARP treatment, which according to the manufacturer decreases swelling and inflammation by increasing local blood circulation.
Athletes sustaining grade II lateral ankle sprains (partial ligament tear with moderate swelling and ecchymosis and limited weight bearing ability) treated with 6 to 10 ARP sessions, and no other conservative treatment except supportive bracing, had an average recovery rate and return to play at 3 to 5 days post injury.
If that is true, and since it is their homepage that is certainly questionable, we should definitely see an effective Dwight Freeney on Sunday with three times as much time needed for recovery as ARP suggests.
So in conclusion, Dwight Freeney suffered a Grade II strain of his lateral ligament as has been using RICE treatment in conjunction with hyperbaric and ARP treatment all designed to decrease the neccessary healing time.
This along with tape and a cortisone shot prior to the game should render him effective come Sunday night.

Great work
Thanks for working all that out. We wont know until Sunday exactly what this injury’s impact will be but it seems very likely that he has a level II sprain and will be able to play on Sunday.
more factual medical info below
please see VolsnCards5 reply below- and the reply from 3 certified physical therapists dealing with ankles – this might clear it up a little better
Excellent work, sir!
I am no doctor, but as for the boot it seems to me as though the Indy training staff may have required Freeney to use it as a precaution, regardless of whether it was truly necessary. Keep the ankle as stabilized as possible, perhaps? Makes sense to me!

Great detective work
A lot of the info coming out of this brouhaha has been contradictory. Saying it’s not a tear while classifying it as degree that indicates a tear…saying that he’s suffered an incapacitating injury while he’s quite clearly walking around, smiling, and confident…we’ll just have to wait for Sunday (or maybe media day) to get a straight answer.
Hell Yeah ZayJack
Do you have Go-Go Gadget Arms? Great detective work and as discussed last night, I think we will see him regardless..
"There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch. " - Nigel Powers
Isn't it the 3rd most important ankle?
Assuming that Manning has 2 (I would not be shocked if he only has 1 or none though. I’m not sure he is human.)
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year.

I guess that would be right
how about 2nd most important pair of ankles.

The term "basketball strain"
I believe this is some “unofficial” term.
I think the Colts have been very careful not to give any decisive information and they are using this to confuse the Saints.

I'm not as concerned as the media wants me to be...
They just want some drama so people will be stuck on their stations and blogs like glue. It’d take something broken for Freeney not to play, he proved that against Seattle and he didn’t go to the probowl b/c there’s no sense in him standing there on the sideline putting more strain on the ankle. He’ll be there and will pressure the hell out of Drew Brees. Nice work though, I can’t take anything away from the info you gathered. Spot on.

Nice Work ZayJack
I am one who believes this is just the Colts MO in dealing with injuries. All that matters is that they have a good idea. They have told the truth somewhere along the line in the past few days, but have stated so in a way that is misleading and tough to interpret. Let everyone else try to cut through the crap
Excellent work.
Now it’s time to start a rumor that Dr. Stein shortened Freeney’s calf muscles to theoretically improve his jumping abilities.
on Twitter @CubsStats23
Great job, ZayJack!
At first I diagnosed Freeney with a Level I sprain because it was a few days after the injury, but I did mention how things could’ve been worse than perceived. I think the Colts are just effin’ with the Saints to make them have two or possibly three gameplans because Freeney’s health status is so secretive.
Peyton Manning makes it Wayne on them hoes!!!!
Reminds me of the way-over-the-top coverage of Brady's foot in '07
Even TMZ had cameras aimed at his front door taping every movement when he left or entered his house. So stupid.
Keep the faith!
I remember that.
That was funny.

The other question is why did he go to Miami sooner than everyone else
that woud be nice to know what he had to do in Miami that he couldn’t do in Indy.

The Colts said it was to begin aggressive treatment.
I assume that once they begin the aggressive treatment, they don’t want Freeney taking a plane ride or anything.

probably better access to hyperbaric chambers
would likely be more available where they are used to treat divers who surface too quickly and get the bends
How can you not love a team that does this?
Terrell Owens use something like that when he played for the Eagles in SB XXXIX?
Terrell Owens use something like that when he played for the Eagles in SB XXXIX.
On December 19, 2004, Owens sustained a severely sprained ankle and a fractured fibula when Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams took him down with a horse-collar tackle.
Owens shocked the media by announcing he would play no matter what, even though team doctors stated that his injury would take several more weeks to heal. Owens’s trainer, James “Buddy” Primm, helped bring Owens back much sooner with the use of Micro Current and a hyperbaric chamber. Skeptics were silenced when Owens started the game and played well; the result was nine receptions and 144 yards and one touchdown, though the Eagles still lost to the New England Patriots.
After the game, Owens criticized the media by saying that a player like Brett Favre would have been praised for such bravery.
Keep the faith!
interesting
now that you mention it, I do remember that… and I agree with his criticism, lol!
I can only hope that Freeney plays as well, relatively speaking.
How can you not love a team that does this?
Great Recall
Of course you would remember since the Pats were involved, but TO’s injury and status are very similar to how the Freeney injury is playing out.
I would be shocked if he didn’t play in this game. I guess we will see tomorrow during Media Day highlights.
I don't always drink beer....but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
I was wondering
if you’re injured do you have the obligation to be at Media Day because if Dwight’s there he might have the 2nd most reporters around him.
If Dwight has nine catches for 144 yards
I will eat my blue hat.
Wouldn’t put it past him, though.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
Rec'd
And what a great work… Hope Freeney heals fast just like Wolverine and be able to play this SB. Sadly, he missed the practices, so after 2 weeks resting maybe he’s not on the right rhythm to play such a big game. Ok, shame on my words but it’s a totally understandable situation
Quitters never win, but cheaters sometimes do
Rust doesn't really affect defensive players.
Freeney has the same job every game: Hit whoever has the ball in the backfield.

bring him in on 3rd down
and other obvious passing situations and let the Saints figure out what to do with him
Appreciate the optimism.
Because, ESPN loves a negative story. Its getting a little out of hand. Slow news day I guess. I did like the comments from Tom Jackson though. Something like, “he’s a fast healer and with the adrenaline that comes with a big game like this, there’s no way he cannot be effective for three hours a week from now”.
Also, I do appreciate the stampede blue theme of unbiased journalism, but, it seems like when there’s an injury or a negative rift about the Colts there isn’t a new story posted. But the second we sign a DT for next years team its breaking news. Just wondering what their process is: ie waiting for official team news? Just kinda strange there’s nothing about Freeney.
BBS is doing the road trip thing.

Everything so far not coming from Clayton or Schefter
has been extremely positive for Sunday. Remember that Polian said on his radio show last week that Freeney should be able to play in the Super Bowl. Reggie has said that Freeney will play. We know that Freeney is still able to walk. Freeney has a high pain threshold and Wolverine-like healing abilities.
He won’t practice Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday which will lead to more negativity from the media and some people here, but he will play. There is no real evidence to suggest otherwise as all reports of this particular injury put the normal recovery time right at 2 weeks.
Oh, and rec’d.

He'd have to have his foot amputated before he doesn't play in the SB
and even then he’d try to sneak onto the field.

Plus, at this time of year, is it necessary for a DE to practice?
See quarterback, get quarterback. Stop run if necessary. Not too much game planning for the DEs these last 2 weeks, I think.

I love your optimism
I believe he’s going to play too. There’s just too much at stake. It’s the Super Bowl, you can’t not play unless you’re on your death bed and even then I believe Freeney would find a way. Where there’s a will, there’s a way (cliché I know but who cares?)
Ummm
I have treated patients with grade III sprains who can straight line walk with minimal pain and without crutches(especially while wearing an ankle boot)…what they cannot do plant and cut
He very well could have a Grade III sprain, which technically is a torn ligament.
If this wasn’t Freeney, I ‘d bet money he would not play on Sunday, but since this is freeney, I’ll just be happy if he can play on passing downs
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
addendum
if he is on pain meds and anti-inflammatories, which i am sure he is, the added stability of a boot could allow him to walk without crutches…he would have an antalgic gait pattern(limping) but he could walk even with a Grade III
The ankle ligaments are for lateral stability, when you are walking on level surfaces, you don’t need a lot of lateral support…whatever he does need, the boot gives him, and compresses the foot to limit swelling and pain

yea I know your not around much (more of a cardinals baseball guy) but good to here your opinion on the injuries when they happen.
I remember you being one of the first over here that I met when I joined. As for this injury I still feel he will at least play on passing downs (come one its freeney and it is the SB). anyway work is calling now.

thank you for the clarification
I had read that people with grade 3 sprains actually can have LESS pain than those with grade 1 or 2… in your experience is that true?
The worry I have is that Freeney can only be a straight-ahead player, completely removing his patented spin move from the picture.
How can you not love a team that does this?
in many cases yes, and this is a good point
the ligament is completely torn in a grade III…therefore, there are no nerve connections, which means no pain sensation transmission…the problem and any pain comes from the swelling associated with the body’s healing process…any pain he is having is probably coming from the swelling, and not the actualy ligamentous tissue tear
if this is a grade III, it will not heal on its own in 2 weeks…he could potentially still play, but he would have to be on serious pain meds/anti inflammatories, and he would have to be taped up to the max to provide all possible stability…otherwise, all he could do was run straight ahead, and not do that well
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
he already uses Kinesio Tape on his upper extremity,
would this not also help with his ankle sprain?
this is much more factual and true
I agree with what is here- I work wih in a PT office- and the therapists there all agree that what VolsnCards5 has to say it much more based on fact of the medical condition (in this case Freeneys ankle) – this all being said without actually seeing the patient. For example- I had severe tendonitis in elbow- I could not do the basic things with my arm- such as lift water bottle , hold something, grip my cars steering wheel without being in excruciating pain- but yet if I turned my hand backwards- I could do all of the above- so Freeney being able to walk semi normal is not a surprise- but the angel of his ankle placement and movement would be more difficult - on that note heres to you freeney- get well soon- looking forward to you knocking Brees down a few times! take care of your ankle !!!
That's what my boyfriend said as well. He's a radiologist and is doing a MSK rotation right now
Just that he should be able to walk semi normal, but anything else with half the ligaments torn is unlikely.
Then I told him that he’s a horrible doctor and Freeney is above medicine. After I drowned him with some eternal optimism.
Fanshot up
I posted a fanshot about Freeney’s injury. Its been confirmed by Caldwell
So, apparently "Adult Language" isn't allowed in sig lines, so I suppose my new sig will be clean and "G" rated so I can openly discuss football with other blogs. Shame on me for not understanding!
So people
will actually GO to the Fanshots lol

Last year
I suffered, and I use the word suffered “lightly,” a grade III ankle sprain playing basketball. I can say this, even if I had a grade II, Dwight Freeney will be the man if he is up and running playing football in two weeks time.
It was exactly almost a year ago and I still have a noticeably swollen ankle, it took me about 3-4 weeks to even BEGIN running, much less cutting side to side. Now I look like that dork wearing huge ankle braces for every sport I play.
That being said, I didn’t have the medical staff, medical devices, training regiment, and overall quality genetic makeup like freeney has. So, if anyone can, he can….
Ron Borges (Boston's resident writer and Pat-hater)
wrote this article, Be sure of it, Dwight Freeney will play this morning.
Sunday evening Freeney won’t be in a hyperbaric chamber of pressurized oxygen. He also won’t be on the injury report. Freeney will be chasing Saints quarterback Drew Brees around for about three hours, breathing regular oxygen after taking an array of modern pain killers that would make a crucifixion not that painful an experience after the last nail was driven through your hands.
Keep the faith!

that’s exactly how it feels! The odd thing is that they guy is a good writer even if heavy handed on the biting sarcasm, when the subject matter doesn’t involve Belichick. Then it’s just plain mean-spirited without the humor, and too hard to swallow whatever the point was he was trying to make.
Keep the faith!
haha - just read the whole article
my favorite quote:
"He’s day-to-day," Caldwell said.
Well, aren’t we all?
How can you not love a team that does this?
Dr Warren Sapp just declared Freeney out
for Sunday. Freeney sais it’s a “coaches’ decision.” Dr Deion the Moron said he’ll play. Don’t you love the clarity!
Colts do what they do, which is play
Talking heads do what they do, which is talk.
genius..
Dwight Freeney is a genius..and so is Peyton..and Coach Caldwell..and Bill..and Jim..and Pierre.and Justin..and Dallas..and Dominic..etc etc…
