History

Historical Context

In 1999, Patriots safety Lawyer Milloy, a Pro-Bowl starter under head coach Pete Carroll, missed three games with a high-ankle sprain, an injury that accounts for roughly 15 % of ankle sprains in contact sports. The incident echoed growing awareness that led the NCAA to issue ankle-support guidelines in 2002, prompting programs such as Texas to add extra medical evaluations before bowl games.
