Bryce Young injured his right ankle during the Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints in the 2023 NFL season. The injury caused him to miss the following week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks but he was back for week 4 

Nobody saw him limping that I remember. ? Or could find the play he hurt it on. Something like that. 
It felt like Frank was forcing the issue to a lot of people. He had wanted to sit him I am pretty sure.

One of his last attempts at forcing some sanity on Tepper. That was the game where Andy at least made it enjoyable. NFL like.

they definitely are. I remember hearing Canales talking about how "we know we have our QB" after the way he finished last season. he hasn't done enough to lose that praise in their eyes and now we have to pause evaluation. unless he shids the bed when he comes back, his 200 yd, 2 td 1 int games playing .500 ball will get him a contract with us. 

I mean, he knew Bryce would be back, he wasn't going to say "next year we still have to evaluate if he's our guy"

There's just no way they can objectively look at him and say he's earned picking up the option year so far, that would be ridiculous to guarantee $27 million to a guy who is ranking last in the league in passing yards despite being 10th in attempts.

Yeah. They are talking as much  ti the player a lot of times, as they are to the fans. Build him up. 
He could have meant it too but to broadcast it, it had a purpose even if he didn’t believe it.

Had a HAS when I was in college. Thing blew up to the size of a grapefruit. Couldn't even see the actual ankle anymore. I was able to come back pretty quickly, a couple of weeks IIRC. But that ish lingered for a good 8 fugging MONTHS. Could technically still play, but I was limping around like a little bitch.

Just thought I'd share.

And he's not the type of athlete that's gonna heal from anything. 

I'm a dumb dumb, what do you mean that he's a type of athlete that not going to heal?  No sarcasm, snideness, just being honest.  Personally, I've never heard of different types of athletes ability to heal or not.  Or maybe I'm over/under thinking...or I'm distracted.

You seem to have a lot more knowledge than I do about how feet and ankles work 😃  Please enlighten me!

There's a lot of reasons for this! Bryce is a good athlete for a person his size, but bigger athletes are better athletes, and the bodies work more efficiently. Not just at the mechanical level, but at the cellular. Bigger, faster athletes require better, more efficient systems etc. 

1. Physiologic reserve - Bryce is a smaller, more slender guy. There's just not a lot of him. people with less amounts of muscle mass (generally) will heal more slowly than someone like Cam. Similarly, peole with high amounts of body fat will heal from mechanical injuries more slowly than someone with less BF and similar lean muscle mass. It's just one of those things.

Same thing with how his actual injury doesn't look like much. Imagine an NFL player suffering some horrific looking injury and being fine in two plays. Then think of how easy it was, even when you were young, to roll your ankle and be down for 2 weeks. 

2. Less blood flow - blood flow leads to healing, especially with tendon injuries because they're not inherently vascular. High ankle sprains are actually a bone injury as well. Bryce is just little. There's not a lot of blood in there to transport the healing blood factors. Imagine how tiny his ankles are. This is similar to the reason Alex Smith had such a radical surgery to heal an infection in his shin/calf; there's just not a lot of meat there to bring blood to get in antibiotics in there to fight the infection. So they cut a hunk of flesh off his thigh and attached it to his shin. Looks awful, but it worked. 

3. Can't handle as much rehab - he's smaller, will get tired more quickly, will take longer to recover, etc. 

4. medical history - really only had one injury in the past, it was an "ac sprain" after a tackle against TAMU, and it took him weeks to recover.

Awesome!  Thank you for the smart person input!  I almost feel as smart as someone who slept in a Holiday Inn Express!

(My god, what a terrible reference!)

It makes sense.  I'm a large person with a lot of muscle mass (but saw how terrible my endurance has gotten this year yesterday - WTF life!), and I never get seriously hurt despite smashing my fingers, hands, feet, head and all sorts of limb on doors, desks, 3/4" sheets of plywood, etc. I do on a daily basis.  I just thought I healed faster than others, small biological win.  But that it's just my body is just bigger and better at allocating resources.

Again, super interesting!

another thing working against bryce is he sprained his ankle by rolling it OUT (eversion), not IN (inversion). 

Ankle joint is MUCH stronger against eversion than the opposite. you can try this by sitting at your desk. Put the outside edge of your foot on the floor. Easy, right? Do the same with the opposite side. 

An everted broken ankle is actually an ortho trauma emergency, because if the trauma was strong enough to evert and break it, it probably did neurovascular damage as well.

Not that your earlier points weren't interesting too but this is what I was wondering about with the injury and potential recovery time. I always had this "hunch" about rolling in vs out just from my own experiences.  Insightful stuff, thanks

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
