I did a partial tear 11mins into round 1 this season, looked for someone who kicked me who I knew wasn’t there but also hobbled off not collapse…pain all gone but low function/can’t toe off that foot yet after 8 weeks
I’m going to go out on a limb here and potentially embarrass myself…
I don’t think that was a full Achilles rupture for Flanders.
His ability to somewhat weight bare post incident doesn’t fit the mould.
And post tendonpathy they usually don’t rupture unless you’re stupid 💉
