I am guessing he will be fine, but he did miss a portion or all of four games in 2005 due to an ankle injury.

Not to mention the first 5 practices in TC.

I just read on KFAN, it's not his ankle at all, but a hip-pointer......Not good news for sure.

If it is a hip-pointer, here is a link that explains exactly what AD may be going thru right now and whats to come..

Let's get the injuries out of the way now.
Although, I think I may have an injury of my own after seeing this post.
AP's going to kick some @$$ this year.

It's time to wrap the whole team in bubble wrap.

If he returned, he is probably fine.

he did return to afternoon practice, he was there when i was.

But.. he was limping a little and was not wearing a helmet & cleets, just watching

From what AD said, sounds more like a bone bruise than a hip-pointer.
A true hip-pointer would knock him out anywhere from a couple of weeks or longer.

Those deep bruises or a bone bruise can be very painfull also.
