Alfred Blue, American football player for the Jacksonville Jaguars, was placed on injured reserve on September 1stdue to an ankle injury. Blue was diagnosed with an ankle sprain after injuring his ankle in the first quarter of the preseason game between the Eagles and Jaguars on August 15th. Blue was spotted in a walking boot last week and will sit out on the first 8 games this season before he is eligible to return. This timing suggests it may be a high ankle sprain (syndesmosis injury).
