  Oklahoma State starting quarterback Spencer Sanders is in a walking boot and his status for Saturday remains unknown, coach Mike Gundy said on Monday. "We booted him up," Gundy said. "We'll take it off on Tuesday, then put him out there on Wednesday and go from there." Gundy later characterized the injury as "mild." Sanders injured his ankle on the opening series of the 16-7 win over Tulsa on Saturday. He tried to play on the injury, but left after a fumble on the Cowboys' second possession. During the game on Saturday, the injury was described by the Cowboy radio broadcast crew as a "high ankle injury." The most common such injury is a high ankle sprain, but what, exactly, is a high ankle sprain? And what makes it different from a typical sprained ankle?

In general, it comes down to which ligaments were injured. "The high ankle sprain, when you hear that term thrown around, that's usually involving a ligamentous complex called the syndesmosis, and the syndesmosis is a pretty complex group of ligaments that runs up and down the entire length of the lower leg between the tibia and the fibula," said Dr. Brian Clowers, who did not treat Sanders, but is an orthopedic surgeon with a specialty in foot and ankle surgery at Ortho Central in Norman. "When those ligaments get injured, it's generally something that takes a little bit more energy than your garden-variety ankle sprain, a lateral ankle sprain. "As a result, the high ankle sprain tends to respond a little bit slower to rehab." - Daily Oklahoman
