For what its worth, my sister who is a physical therapist says the rod is there for long-term stability. Thinks it has no affect on long term athletic ability. It is a bone and it got strengthed. Only problem is if it got injured again.
Quite true now read between the lines. The doctors obviously don't think that his tibula would have healed completely on it's own, enough to take the pounding that his job will demand. As such, they put a fucking metal rod in his leg........
That bone undergoes the most stress when it is planted making a hard cut.....something a good receiver needs to be able to do. Considering your muscular skeletal structure is pretty consistent, would not the other leg be suspect for the same type of injury occurring?
It's not like he got creamed going across the middle and a freak injury occurred that broke his dam leg, this is an injury that occurred in OTA's that consisted mainly of.......running routes.....
