YOU ARE NOT HIS DOCTOR so quit acting like you are.
When Green first injured his ankle, it was no big deal, just doing MRI as a precaution. Then no big deal, just a torn ligament. Then no big deal, just a little procedure. No big deal, may miss the start of the season. No big deal, may miss 4 games. No big deal, but we don't know when he will return.
The point is, you should know better. Point blank, the Bengals lie about injuries. Why you believe their reports, I don't know. Who told you 6-8 weeks? Green's doctor? No.
You mean like Braham's bone bruise turning into a tibial plateau fracture? It didn't turn into a tibial plateau fracture. It was always a tibial plateau fracture from the start. The only thing that changed was the information released to the public.
I'm sure that is how it seems to you because you don't know the difference between a grade i and a grade III ankle sprain, the difference in prognosis between an anterior talofibular tear and a deltoid tear, the associated injuries with a deltoid tear, and the prognosis for each.

I'll hit the highlights so you don't have to read the whole article.
Did you get that part about protected rehab? That means it take a very long f'n time to heal. One of the reasons is because of the associated injuries which occur frequently. Associated injuries we don't know if Green does or doesn't have, just like we didn't know Braham had a fracture and not a bone bruise. Only about 5% of ankle injuries are deltoid ligament tears so 95% of people think they are just like the ankle injury they had when they were in high school and don't understand why Green is taking so long to heal because they had a similar injury, but they aren't similar and thus the prognosis is different. We can watch the video of Green's injury and it appears his foot and ankle evert and externally rotate when he lands which as you just read in black and white is the mechanism of injury for a deltoid ligament injury while the more common ATF ligament tear is caused by inversion and internal rotation.
Based upon the video showing how he landed he likely suffered a deltoid ligament tear and more than likely he has other injuries which haven't been reported that would explain the protracted rehabilitation. His recovery is consistent with the prognosis for this type of injury.
The last thing an athlete would want to do try to is progress through rehab too hard, too soon which could lead to chronic instability and need to have the surgery repeated and it could potentially be career threatening.
After 6-8 weeks they return to light training, not competitive competition.
Swelling is exactly what Green complained about after his training sessions.
Swelling indicates a reaction. If Green's ankle reacted to the training, his surgeon and therapists advice would be to back of the training until the swelling improves.
I have observed an athlete most likely rehabbing from a significant ankle injury which required surgery to repair and based upon how his rehab has progressed it is consistent with my suspicion he suffered a deltoid ligament tear . . . at a minimum.
You see a goldbricking diva like Antonio Brown.
Actually, I don't find that strange at all. Matter of fact, that's basically the standard of care. If your medical condition isn't getter better on its own you see a doctor. If it doesn't get better after seeing a doctor, he refers you to a specialist. If it doesn't get better after seeing a specialist, he refers you to a subspecialist.
If your ankle wasn't getting better as expected after surgery and PT; would you keep doing the same thing or would you see a subspecialist for another opinion? Any normal person with half a brain would do the latter, not keep doing the former.
Then he went on IR. What a wonderful and completely asinine way of letting teams know he was ready to play next year; by letting all of them know he wasn't healthy enough to play the last game. F'n brilliant.
But, at least my opinion is based in medical knowledge as I just showed you in black and white. You have "feelings." Like you feel Green and Antonio Brown are the same type of diva proving not all opinions are created equal.
