Everyone watched the "Ball Hogs" take out Peyton Manning and company in Super Bowl 48. What we did not get to see was the fact that Richard Sherman injured his ankle. He was diagnosed with a "high ankle sprain" and that is not because Seattle was playing Denver in the Super "Bowl" between two states which have passed legalization of marijuana legislation. He had twisted his ankle so that the ligaments above the ankle joint were either strained (meaning partially torn) or sprained (meaning stretched just beyond their mechanical end point). Either way, he will likely only require CAM boot immobilization and physical therapy, and probably won't miss a step for next season.
