"Well, he obviously has a very significant ankle injury," Kubiak said. "It's still under evaluation at this point. I know that it's going to need surgery. It's going to require surgery. So we'll probably have a definite answer for you sometime [Monday]. Very unfortunate. It doesn't look good. That's the best I can describe it for right now. ..."
