buck is a great player.. but come on.. we all know bosa was picked to be everything that we hoped aldon smith would be.. and what we thought foster was going to be

Pretty sure Bosa was picked because he plays a premium position and was looked at as one of if not the best prospect in the draft.

A guy is fragile because he gets hurt when a 300 lb man falls on top of his ankle?

I believe the term for that is physics.

Yep. Thankfully, in the trenches, pile ups and players falling on you don't happen through the normal course of a ln NFL season. So we should not be concerned going forward with Bosas ankle durability.

Do you think repeating the joke makes it funnier?

Joke? I struck a nerve, I see. Don't be so sensitive.

Using the "it was unavoidable" argument doesn't mean he's not injury prone.

"Injury prone" only matters if the dude gets injured frequently or not...regardless of why.

If Bosa gets his ankle "unavoidably" rolled on every other game and misses time...he will still be injury prone.

Injury prone to me is lots of broken bones, soft tissue injuries without contact.

ACL injuries, injuries when bodies bend you or fall on you when you don't have a chance to brace yourself or your foot is stuck are bad luck.

Guys get banged up in this sport, a lot of these injuries would be considered minor and likely played through if it was the regular season. Teams will always play it safe in offseason for players they know are key to their success in the regular season.

We'll see what happens with Nick. A hamstring injury after a long layoff from football related practice isn't an issue. An ankle sprain when someone falls on your while you're engaged and minding your own business sucks but it's not an injury prone issue...it's a bad luck injury.

The injury prone brigade can celebrate while they can, I notice some of the posters running their mouth were nowhere to be found when Nick was out there and constantly making plays in camp but that's how webzone works.

Basically it's not looking good.

Basically nobody here knows anything. Already seen Lynch and John Bosa say week one is possible. Everything depends on how quickly it heals as everyone's body heals differently, only time will tell.

I'm betting this is more on the precautionary side. After all this is a new medical staff and I bet they want to show Lynch and Shanahan they can keep as much players off of IR as possible. I have no doubt in my mind that Bosa could play the last Preseason game and will start week 1.

We can say what we want and how it happened, but Between the hamstring and now the ankle he's not doing much to shed the injury prone label.

Sure. It can be bad luck. But if you are frequently injured...you are literally prone to injuries.

But someone fell on his ankle when engaged, how do you avoid that?

If he has "components" of a high ankle sprain he would miss 4+ weeks even in the regular season.

Reuben Foster had something similar and missed more than a month. No GM would drop the term "high ankle" if it wasn't a relatively significant injury.

That's my hope but why clarify that it's "significant" if that's the case and just leave it as an ankle sprain that they'll continue to evaluate. Maybe for competitive advantage in the hopes that teams minimize time game planning for him but it's early for that and I don't see that being the impetus.

You don't. Doesn't mean he isn't prone to injury.

People act like Nick Bosa has to physically saw off his leg to get an "injury prone" label. He either gets injured frequently, or he doesn't.

HOW SOFTTTTT IS THIS GUYYYYY !!!!????
