Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2833667, member: 9052"] It sounds as though Roberts only sprained his ankle. Players typically return in 2 weeks from a sprain or sometimes the next round. It wasn't a high sprain and there was no fracture, so not really much to re-injure. From @NRLphysio [B]James Roberts[/B] After copping a direct blow to his knee, Roberts collapsed to the turf of Suncorp Stadium and had to be carried off the field. This ended up being a surprising injury source, as Roberts had in fact rolled his ankle when his knee was hit from the inside. This was a surprise to everyone (me included), as even the trainer had performed tests on Roberts’ knee when he rushed to him on the field. This is likely because the blow to the knee caused considerable pain initially (contusion/cork), but as this had not caused any significant damage it wore off and he was left with the considerable lateral ankle pain. Roberts was cleared of fractures, and the soft tissue damage to his ankle will only hold him out for 2-4 weeks. Like all players listed here the rep round came at the right time for Roberts, and he should be back in the next week or two for the Broncos. [/QUOTE]
