Leftwich out 3-4 weeks

According to the Associated Press, "Atlanta Falcons quarterback Byron Leftwich underwent surgery on his right ankle Wednesday and will be out three to four weeks, giving Joey Harrington another chance as the starter." Leftwich's injury was described as a high ankle sprain, and the surgery is supposed to speed up the healing process ( ). Either way, it looks like he's out for around a month.

Lefty read this for a little better understanding of the procedure - seems it isn't that big a deal

Re: Leftwich out 3-4 weeks

Okay, so they basically put screws in because they want to hold the sprained ankle in place, meaning it'll heal faster without moving around in awkward ways. And it'll also help keep him from aggravating or re-injuring it. Makes sense to me now.
