Titans cornerback Nick Harper said he doesnt know yet if he will be able to play Sunday against the New York Jets but the foot injury that sidelined him last week at Jacksonville came about through very unusual circumstances. It seems Harper had broken his ankle and did not know it until doctors informed him of it when he had off-season surgery on his right ankle. It seems that when the injury healed on its own, calcium deposits formed where the crack and been and the ankle became inflamed. When I had my ankle surgery, the doc asked me if Id ever broken my ankle before, and come to find out, my ligament was half torn off on the outside and broken on the inside and had a crack going down on the inside too, Harper said. I never knew any of that was in there. He said I had broken my ankle at one point. I didnt know, because I dont ever remember missing any time.
