As long as Mario doesn’t use the word “significant” - Fletcher will be fine.

Apparently the X Rays were negative

I’m getting so tired of the negative news…wait, that’s a good thing, right? So it’s a positive that it’s a negative

Don’t come down too hard on the CiS medical team for setting off a false alarm with the Achilles diagnosis. They are just a volunteer staff, after all.

Put him in a bubble until August 31st.

Have we confirmed it’s 100% NOT an Achilles?

I don't think an Achilles will show on an xray. It will show on a MRI. There is also a physical test that will give a good idea if it is.

Correct, and it's actually a fairly easy diagnosis by palpation and presence or absence of plantar flexion of the foot.

Hmmm ...

He was holding his knee when he went down, so it definitely wasn’t an Achilles

Look for Unhealthy to put him on the Zion Nelson rehab plan. Young man will be full go for the 2026 season.

I went to the day spa yesterday and had my plantar flexion palpated for an extra $20.
