GREEN BAY – At first, when Equanimeous St. Brown heard the term “high-ankle sprain,” the Green Bay Packers receiver thought he might still have a chance.
It’s a common football injury, usually more nuisance than major problem. You can miss a few weeks, even several weeks, with a high-ankle sprain. You rarely miss an entire season.
“At first,” St. Brown said, “we didn’t know exactly how bad it was.”
Then he learned his ankle needed surgery. That’s when St. Brown realized he wouldn’t have a chance to build on his promising rookie season of 2018.
His second season with the Packers was finished midway through preseason, over before it really began.
