re: Tua Has MRI Confirmed "High Ankle Sprain"

His foot was stepped on by one of his lineman and it was stretched.
Bad luck.

If you had an understanding of his injuries you wouldn't even ask, he isn't unlucky or fragile, he is an athlete that got a sprain in his knee, that is one of the worst places to have a sprain because the only way to make it heal completely is to rest it for weeks, with light duty, something he hasn't done. Tua now has a sprained knee (mostly healed) and a high ankle sprain, the ankle sprain just like any other sprain needs weeks of light duty to properly heal, they are nagging injuries that fool you into thinking you're good and then you step on it just a little wrong and it is crippling. Sprains also create strains on other joints and muscles groups due to the added strain from your body naturally avoiding weight on the injury. Tua is actually a very tough player, the fact that he played with his knee for so long and a few quarters with a sprained ankle all while taking hits is impressive and says alot about his character and grit.
