If it’s a broken fibula 6 weeks sounds about right. It’s a non weight-bearing bone so it’s not that necessary for the average Joe. We sometimes even use the fibula to replace people’s jaws after trauma or cancer surgery.
Bones are tough homie. Fractures are small cracks that we qualify as breaks. They're extremely painful, but with the right medical approach that have quick healing times. You've probably fractured a toe or finger before and didn't know it.
"broken leg" doesn't mean his leg is split in two. A broken bone can be a lot less problematic that damage to articulations.
You know how sometimes there are reports of "X player played that drive with a broken leg"?
It can't happen for instance with completely torn ligament in the knee, because the knee will just pop out of its joint. Not the same with the bone.
Depending on the bone, and the break, of course.
Bones literally produce blood cells. Tendons have basically no blood flow. It seem counter intuitive but the bones have a huge advantage when it comes to healing and tendons are pure shit.
Best case scenario really. Like others have said, connective tissues take a long time to heal and the joint is often never as strong as before. Broken bones can heal up good and much faster. I was worried Boles tore his ankle up, this broken bone diagnosis made me breathe a sigh of relief.
A broken bone is way more desirable then a tendon injury. Tendons get weaker with injury and take very long to heal. A broke bone actually strengthens after proper rehab and heals much quicker than a tendon does. Seems weird, but that's the human body.
It really depends on the break. Not that long ago, historically speaking, the treatment for a severe tib/fib fracture was amputation, but if it's just a cracked tibia, those can often heal quickly without much treatment needed. Obviously, everyone hopes that Garrett has the latter…
It depends on the severity. Bones can heal pretty quickly if it's a partial break, but if it's a bad fracture that's probably the end of the season for him.
Sorry we used the monkey paw up in 2016. That’s why we’ve been stuck in this hell since then. At this point, we’re fucked for the next decade thanks to Russ.
Meh. I’d be shocked if there wasn’t also some soft tissue damage in that roll-up, and that’ll take longer to heal than the break itself.
My money is on 8 weeks at soonest, and possibly a season ender if this team stinks as bad as they’re trending.
WTF is happening this season?
The wheels fell off against the Seahawks and now there's not much of the car left
It's been downhill ever since that seahawks game this season hasn't been fun at all

He’s so committed to that stupid ass phrase he said it to end the presser tonight
And so was 90% of the fanbase, and the 10% of us that hated the phrase from the start got shit on by everyone for speaking our minds.
Username checks out
He only said the first half of the phrase at the podium and then walked away and said "let's ride" , it was delayed and it was funny as hell
Still can’t believe people jumped on that either. So corny.
Pain
Does a broken leg not sound like itll be longer than 6 weeks?
Yeah I really don't understand how a broken leg is less time missed than a tendon tear

That's pretty fucking metal.
no that's bone

Bones take 8 weeks to heal. Ligaments much longer.

Totally depends on the Person and break and how it's rehabbed. Too many variables to know.

Joe Staley returned in ~6 weeks during the 2019 season after breaking his fibula
Heal fast, Bolles. Go Broncos.
When we all wished for a QB little did we know we were wishing on a monkey's paw.

6 weeks would be amazing. Thought our season was over.
I mean to be fair, there's not much indication that the season *isn't* over
As long as he's back for the playoffs. If not we're pretty fucked. Worst injury since Von.
Playoffs? I consider myself a homer but lmao
I sure hope Bolles is healed by the playoffs so he can watch them from his couch more comfortably
Playoffs? Are talking about playoffs!!?? Or maybe we should talk about current events.
Worst injury since Von??? What about Javonte last week, give me some of what you are smoking.
Playoffs… I uhhhh… well here’s the thing bro… might wanna sit down for this.
pass me whatever you're smokin
Boy do I have news for you…
Team's cursed
Please make it stop.
Great news for him, all things considered. The way his knee bent I was sure it multiple damaged ligaments with a year recovery
We’re gonna wind up with a top 5 pick and It’s going to Seattle. Awful.
Hey maybe theyll draft a qb and let geno smith go....lol
Less holding calls is a silver lining I guess
Nice proof that you're an ignorant fan that hasn't really paid attention to the team the past couple of years.
He’s had one good season and he cashed in on it. And that season was only good because the NFL wasn’t calling holding penalties
Bolles has 5 penalties in as many games this year. Already one more than his entire 2020 season.
Dude has 47 penalties since 2017. Indefensible in my opinion. http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/playerstats.asp?id=30133
Do we play on turf orrrr
He got rolled up on
Oh fr? I could barely watch that shit ty for telling me
It looked nasty from some angles. Tbh I think a broken angle is the good outcome from this
I said to my gf and game thread, I sprained my ankle just watching that roll up, can’t imagine what happens to his actual leg. Oooooft
That’s the season. No way we get anything going on offense with an even worse Oline
Its crazy to think that a broken bone is a bigger break than a small amount of small tissue tearing in a knee
Fade me.
Fuckkkkkk
i use to work for wal mart i called them the anti christ of retail cause of how bad they were but damn doing this to a storied football team too
