Another medical malpractice by the training staff?

Eagles' trainer Rick Burkholder was very forthcoming in yesterday's medical debriefings on the extent of TO's injuries. Still, it is fair to ask how they could have missed the broken leg that was diagnosed Monday afternoon. After the debacle that was McNabb's untreated broken leg dduring the Arizona game two years, you would think the Eagles' medical staff would be careful and comprehensive in diagnosing another star player's injuries. So how could they take an x-ray of TO's ankle on Sunday but not of the knee? Did they not see the play? Why not take pictures of both just to be on the safe side?
