This isn’t a typical fracture. If what The media is reporting about his fracture type is correct, he’s got a little chip avulsed off the bone and it’s not in the joint. The reason why it’s three weeks is for the hematoma to resolve. This isn’t structurally impacting. Now, I didn’t see the X-rays and location is important.
Xander has something similar this year and he returned with a “broken ankle” in 2 weeks
