I had not heard about this injury to young Rory. It doesn't surprise me.

Hopefully physical therapy is all he will need. If it is unstable afterwards he may need an ATFL surgical repair - two months in a cast (been there, done that). He used the term "complete rupture" - that doesn't sound good. I believe these sorts of injuries are typically a tear that will heal by itself.
