Abdullah, a second-year backup linebacker, tied for third in special teams solo tackles as a rookie with 10 and total tackles with 14.

BengalPappaw Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Channel 12 reported that the injury was a dislocated ankle.I have no idea how long it takes to recover from a dislocated ankle -- but it sounds better than a broken ankle. :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoDeyNow Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Damn that sucks. I was hoping he could start playing a lot more on defense this season. This is going to put a big pause in his development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me either...I'm just passing along the news.Not a good start to the season for the draft class of 2003. Weathersby first, now Abdullah, and Jeremi Johnson is reportedly on the bubble because of weight issues.Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPappaw Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I'm about to tell you more than I know.But, a dislocation of the ankle sounds very serious based on the following medical treatment:How is it treated?An ankle dislocation requires urgent treatment to avoid permanent damage to nerves and blood vessels, which can be pinched between bones.Treatment depends on the severity of the injury. Severe injuries may require surgery to repair the joint.After correcting the dislocation, the doctor will put a fiberglass cast or air cast on your ankle so that it will heal in its proper place. If you have surgery, the doctor will place you in a cast for about 6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPW Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 From Hobson's Choice:"Lewis made an interesting comment Friday when discussing what looks to be right outside linebacker Khalid Abdullah’s season-ending dislocated right ankle. He indicated that Johnson was Simmons’ backup even before Abdullah went down." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
