    is it fractured or dislocated? I keep hearing both ways. Is it the same thing when concerning the ankle? I had my ankle shattered before and it hasn't been the same since after the bar and screws they stuck in my leg.

    It can be both, and from what I understand, it was both and both were severe. I believe he extensively tore ligaments in the process.

    I'm sure it will be a couple weeks before the swelling down enoughfor them to properly image it with MR and plan the surgery.

    Gimme Ogunleye.

    He can do spot work for one year.

    Although I'm starting to wonder if Barwin isn't done for good.

    I like that the Texans are working out/interested in guys that have proven their worth in the league and not settling for a Jesse Nading or Tim Jamison to fill the void.

    Yep, Ogunleye will do just fine as a 1yr stop gap. It's never good to have a devastating injury like that but if it's going to happen game 1 is probably the best time for it to happen. Worst case, he starts on the PUP list and is back by game 7 next year.

    Wouldnt be surprised if they went with the former Jaguar McCray(knows the division). We'll see though.

    Ya I'm think it's both got the txt saying broken ankle while Houston chronicle says dislocated.

    John McLain works for the chronicle and he reported broken ankle

    It's prob both
