That is absolutely legendary.

 

He has become one of my favorite all-time Bills, in a pretty short time.  I can't think of a player we've had who is tougher, or more reliable.  Some just as tough - but not tougher.

 

Fred Jackson move over and make room for Cole Beasley. Wow.....just wow?

Tenacity, and I don't believe that it's a weight-bearing bone.

 

not a weight bearing bone makes sense.  Still, ouch.  That is a tough guy.  And he still was productive (not as much as before, but still produced).

Fibula bone plays a minor role in bearing the weight of the body as we walk. The tibia bears approximately 80% of the body weight. The fibula bone bears only 15 to 20% of the body weight. Moreover, it transfers forces as the ankle hits the ground during walking. The mechanism of transferring ground reaction forces occurs due to muscles attachments on the upper part of the fibula bone underneath the knee. The interosseous membrane also helps in transferring rotational forces from the ankle to the knee. There are nerves tissues, veins and arteries which pass behind the fibula, near the knee. The fibula is a site of five muscles attachment.

 

Fibula bone fracture is a common injury seen in the emergency room. The fracture occurs from a direct blow to the outside of the leg, from twisting  the lower leg awkwardly and, most common, from a severe ankle sprain

 

 

From description he cracked bone in lower part.

So the bone that helps transmit force from the ankle "during walking" was fractured?   And running?  And cutting?  And jumping?   

 

These guys are such warriors.

Cole Beasley is the poster child of what this whole team is about.

How fans can disrespect their efforts this season including the AFCCG is beyond me.

 

Get well Cole and all you other Buffalo Bills players.  You guys are almost there and take heart that the majority of

fans appreciate your efforts!

 

Go Bills.

The fibula is weight bearing so I have no idea how he could play. Maybe it was hairline but damn that seems to be risky.

And no, I’m not a doctor so I have no idea what I am talking about.

So, I'm not a doctor.  Back in the day my parents got my sister and me involved in science and in math.  She became a doctor, and I did computer science resulting in tech.

 

Having written that, I needed to go way, way back about the fibula: https://www.physio-pedia.com/Fibular_Fracture#:~:text=The fibula is a non,articular surface of the talus.

 

Executive summary:

 

Quote

The fibula is a non-weight bearing bone that originates just below the lateral tibial plateau and extends distally to form the lateral malleolus

 

Still, must've been EXTREMELY painful to play with, and explains a LOT when it came to watching our receivers not be able to get separation on the regular.  My hat's off to Beasley, regardless of whether the bone was weight bearing or not.

That's great news from a medical standpoint. Torn knee cartilage doesn't heal well, if at all. I was afraid he would have a bad wheel from now on, but with a broken bone he will be back to 100%.
