I wager he'll be on the field plenty this Sunday, but even if he doesn't...

I hope so. 72 hours is a long time for a young body to heal. Then add in taping, pain killers, and unprecedented adrenaline...that's a lot working for him.

2 things are about to happen:
1. Nick won't play in the SB
2. He still gets a ring

Looks like just a minor sprain. If he just came from the doc and had tests done and is walking without a boot or crutches, it's not broken and likely not even a high ankle sprain. With high ankle sprains you still usually get a tight wrap, brace or similar and are required to not place pressure on it.
I just don't know if that vid was after their practices or after the hospital.

Folks are saying that’s after the hospital.
He’s definitely going into the hotel.
It’s night, so…wasn’t immediately after practice.
Practice -> hospital -> hotel
rather than
Practice -> hotel -> hospital -> hotel
Oh he's definitely playing, that is very encouraging

I watched the video of him getting out of the SUV and walk into the Hotel. Here's what I think.
From a Massage Therapist's point of view: With him walking on it, it's probably taped up to reduce swelling. He'll have orders to treat it with the old Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and be back early tomorrow for rehab on it. I'm guessing from the movement, he rolled it pretty good. (I've done that playing softball.) It will be stiff and sore this morning, but Physical Therapy will help. He didn't need crutches or other assistance. The fact that he's walking back to the hotel by himself to me is big. He'll be sore, but I don't think he'll miss the big game. Might have a couple of shots before and at half-time. And he may be on a snap count.

I agree. He’s walking on his own, carrying his own bag. It’s a mild sprain and with some tape and toradol he will be ready to go. Not worried.

Silver lining is that this gives NE one more thing to plan for. And it's not a small thing to script a plan for an Emmanwori-less Hawks D vs one with him.

the Pats have gotten so lucky this year. No way they beat Denver with Nix playing. They had the easiest schedule in the NFL. If Darnold goes down then I think the universe will give us the worst team to ever win a Super Bowl.

I don't know much about it so I'm the last person who should be giving an opinion lol but I doubt using something like that a couple of times a year would have much lasting effects. I think the guys who take it every week for weeks on end year after year though are doing some damage. I think like most things if used sparingly its probably not a big deal. That's a non medical opinion though so take it with a grain of salt.

He's not the only one who will be doing shots before and during half time.
This is the silver lining, if there is one. He’s that big of an impact that they’d have to develop a plan-b if he doesn’t play.

Remember when TO played on basically a broken ankle? i know the eagles lost that game but TO absolutely crushed it and that seems to be much worse than this. On the other end Nix has season ending surgery but still played a few snaps after it, and held a post game interview standing there as if everythings fine. so who really knows. lets all just send him positive thoughts to heal faster as he is certainly needed, hes a beast.
I was kind of thinking something along those lines. There are only 3 games worth of tape when we played without Nick and Vrabel will now having to add that contingency to their game planning (assuming he hasn't already). I would think having to now do that at the last minute is nothing but a pain in the ass. I'd also imagine Macdonald will use this to his advantage as much as possible.

WTF? How do these guys get injured on bye weeks? I am f——g pissed.
The Cheatriots get so lucky. The ONE player I did not want to see injured.
