Great News. (Rawls related)

[pmedic920]

Didn't see anybody mentioning this.

That would imply a fairly quick recovery, so yeah, great news. Tough break for the kid, but that sounds nice. Maybe could have expected this given he walked off the field barely limping, but still it sounded serious.

Hurry back, kid!

Tweet was posted in a couple of other Rawls threads.

I'll see myself out.

It's all good bro, people that have already commented and finished in them, might appreciate a fresh one on the positive side of the Rawls injury.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Excellent.

 

[scutterhawk]

That is great news, maybe he won't be back anytime soon, but here's hoping he'll come back at 100% healthy :thirishdrinkers:

Fractured ankles are a strange deal. I broke mine skiing... actually, I broke it slipping in the parking lot on the way to the hill, but nevertheless I was able to walk on it without too much pain for an hour or so after it happened. Swelled up like a balloon, though. A complete recovery *should* be quick for Rawls.

 

[400WattHPSHawk]

Awesome. He should have no problems being ready by next preseason.

I have a plate and 6 screws in my ankle, well 5 screws now, I needed one for my screen door.

 

[AROS]

Great news!

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

I think this bodes very well for a complete recovery in time for the 2016 season. You'll be missed Thomas.

 

[NFSeahawks]

Really awesome news, hope it's one of those things where he can come back like it never happened.

As a skateboarder who has had my ankles x-rayed numerous times and came back negative.... Sprains can be worse than breaks sometimes. There's lots of bones in the feet. One cracks and it's a "break" but it isn't necessarily how you picture a broken arm or something. All I'm trying to say is I've heard of plenty of people walking off broken ankles, yet last time I sprained mine I could hardly limp

As basketball player who on numerous occasions had ankles that looked like grapefruits at the bottom of my legs, I agree.

I think I want to wait to hear Carroll say something similar at a new conference after MRI results get back to confirm, but certainly this is a happier report than what we hard from Carroll right after the game. I'm guessing this kind of info gets leaked to Brock by Rawls agent rather than the team doctors.

I think this sums up what I was saying....

"Depending on the type and severity of the fracture or the sprain, the prognosis of a sprain may actually be worse than a fracture."

 

[Hawkstorian]

It would be nice to start next training camp without a bunch of PUP guys.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Great news.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but even with his injury I'm just fine going into next season as Rawls as the starting RB. I saw enough to know this kid's special.

 

[Cartire]

Interesting. Sportscenter just reported that surgery would happen sooner then later.

 

[hgwellz12]

If true this is awesome!

I posted this in the Rawls injury thread, but unfortunately have not yet seen any follow-up sourced confirmation. Still just hoping Brock has heard something official from somebody.
