re: Tua never had a severe high ankle sprain

Let me dissect this.

quote:

---

He was supposed to be non-weight bearing for 10 days

---

Non-weight bearing for 4-5 days. Because there was no swelling this time, this time was shortened to about 3.

but he was in a walking boot 7 days later at the Arky game.

---

He was off the scooter and in the walking boot about 5 days later. He was actually out of it the week of the Arkansas game but wore it for the game as a precaution if a player ran into him.

quote:

---

Cam Robinson couldn’t put any weight on his coming off the field a few years ago.

---

And played 2 weeks later. Another Bama player had this procedure and was practicing 7 days later. This is the normal timeframe.
This surgery provides stability and quickens recovery time. That's why it was created.

quote:

---

We shall see but I think and pray Tua will be 90% or so.

---

All indications from the beginning was his recovery is ahead of schedule. People inside the program indicate he'll be close to 100%.
