Excuse me for playing CP's podiatric doctor but as ridiculous as it sounds it's not easy to get a minor ankle sprain wearing skates, it happens and maybe this is the case but the most common are torn ankle ligaments that connect the tibia to the fibula above the rigid part of the skate boot, hence the term "high ankle sprain".
Stauffer's best case scenario is 8-12 weeks but we all know he's an fatso idiot who probably sprains an ankle 3 times a year walking down from the press box.
