Barwin done for the year - dislocated ankle
 

From PFT:

Paging Mr. Schobel....

Sounds like we need to hope Barwin has a good recovery and is ready to go next year. Tough break as he was starting to contribute more and more.

I thought Nading and Jamison did fairly well when they got a chance to play.

Wondering how they will fill this spot.

OUCH!!

I'm glad it was the ankle and not the knee. As a speed rusher, a knee injury could have changed him from an outstanding rusher to an ordinary rusher. An ankle injury might still slow him down until fully healed but it won't D-Rob him.

I thought Nading did a great job as well when his number got called. He was involved in a half sack with Mario and I could see him hustling when he was in there.

So long Tim Jamison.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...m+--+Sports%29

Dr. Charlie Moore is on the morning show with Mark Vandamere and John Lopez and he was talking about the Barwin injury. He said there is no way this is a dislocated ankle. They do not do surgery on dislocated ankles, they pop the ankle back in and cast them, and wait.

In his opinion there is a break and dislocation, it means a longer rehab, but still recoverable. He said Barwin should be ready for training camp or sooner.

I dunno, but wouldn't a knee (ACL, MCL, whatever) have been cleaner & simpler and result with little or no uncertainty about a full revovery ? This is more complicated and there sounds like real uncertainty about 100 % recovery ?
I hope this isn't as bad as D-Robs injury ? BTW I'm looking forward to seeing a Falcons game being telecasted to see how he is doing 2 full years after his injury ?
When I was a kid in HS I suffered an elbow dislocation in practice. I can tell you they hurt like hell, especially when all that ligiment, cartlidge in there also gets torn-up.
