Joe Alt Questionable: Post-Surgical Right Ankle Status Tracked Ahead of Return

Joe Alt is managing a post-surgical right ankle, placing him in a recovery window that is dictated by the biology of ligamentous and soft-tissue healing following operative intervention — not simply pain tolerance or functional feel. A "Questionable" designation at this stage of surgical recovery carries more clinical weight than the same tag attached to a routine soft-tissue flare; post-operative ankles are vulnerable to setback under full NFL game load, and any residual instability or swelling is meaningful.

CLASSIFICATION: LIG (presumed) or multi-structure / Grade 3 (surgical) / LE — Right ankle, post-operative status. Grade INFERRED from post-surgical designation; specific tissue type and procedure not publicly confirmed. Evidence Tier: T2 — Moderate Confidence (surgical ankle, tissue type unspecified). SURGICAL flag applies; MD review queue flagged. Note: This report is dated April 2026, which is the NFL offseason. A "Questionable" game-status tag in April suggests this is a roster/injury report administrative update rather than a standard weekly practice-participation designation — OTM treats this as a recovery tracking signal, not a standard game-week status read.
