    Broke both bones in his lower leg according to the local sportscaster. Gruesome! Reminds me of the movie I watched last night 'Touching the Void'. Awesome!

    The doctor who operated on him, said he would be out for 6 to 12 months, depending on how fast he heals.

    Surgeon: Prothro should play again
    Wednesday, October 05, 2005

    News staff writer

    TUSCALOOSA - The broken left leg suffered by University of Alabama wide receiver Tyrone Prothro on Saturday will likely require 6-to-12 months of recovery time, orthopedic surgeon Les Fowler said Tuesday.

    Asked if Prothro's injury, which included an open fracture of his left tibia and fibula, could be career-ending, Fowler said, "That's possible. But a great majority of time, people recover from this. That's what we expect from Tyrone."

    Prothro, 21, remained at DCH Regional Medical Center for the fourth consecutive day Tuesday after he underwent surgery immediately following Alabama's 31-3 victory over Florida on Saturday night. He was expected to be released today or Thursday.

    Fowler performed the surgery on Prothro. The procedure included the placement of a steel rod in Prothro's left leg, according to Crimson Tide coach Mike Shula.

    In a best-case scenario, Fowler said, Prothro could be ready in March for partial involvement in spring practice.

    "He may be able to participate in some things in spring training, but he will have limitations," Fowler said. "Hopefully by next fall he will be 100 percent."

    Recovery time varies with individuals, Fowler said, "and it could go a month, six weeks, one way or the other. But (6 to 12 months) is a fairly standard recovery time."

    Shula called it an "obviously dangerous injury," which is why doctors have kept Prothro in the hospital this long. There were no torn ligaments, however, only broken bones.

    Prothro is the Tide's No. 1 punt and kick returner. He also leads the team with 17 catches for 325 yards. He was injured after landing awkwardly in the end zone during a fourth-quarter reception attempt that resulted in defensive pass interference. As he was carted off the field on a stretcher, he raised his index finger to the sky.

    The hospital room Prothro is in has been crowded with visitors, Shula said. Signs are posted in his room, as well.

    "He's well taken care of," Shula said.

    Tide quarterback Brodie Croyle said he visited Prothro on Sunday.

    "He's about as upbeat as I guess you could be," Croyle said. "Obviously, he's upset because he was having such a great year and now it's over. But the first thing he said when I came in there was, `I'll be back. They'll be talking about me for the Heisman next year.'

    "That was his first sentence to me."

    He will return and be effective next year. Reminds me of Willis from Miami saying the same things after tearing his knee against Ohio State. Both players had some internal anger that helps them heal better and play better than normal.

    Paging Joe Theisman

    Paging Joe Theisman


    your LT is ready...

    Nov. 18, 1985

    New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor has been on many highlight films, but this is one he wishes he didn't appear on. Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann wishes it even more.

    On a flea-flicker, the 36-year-old Theismann squirms away from linebacker Harry Carson, but the 243-pound Taylor, the Giants' most feared athlete, leaps and tackles the 198-pound quarterback from the rear. Theismann's right leg twists sideways beneath him as he goes down.

    "Joe screamed and we got off as fast as we could," says Giants noseguard Jim Burt, who was on top of the pile, after the Redskins' 23-21 victory.

    Theismann is taken to Arlington Hospital, where doctors operate on a compound multiple fracture of the right leg. He will never play again.

    I think he might have a broken leg....Did he catch the ball? That's the important question.
