That is not correct. Rolling an ankle and dislocating are two different things. Dislocation is an extreme version of a sprain that makes the joint give way. Rolling your ankle is much less of an injury and you can be back in a few weeks. Dislocation can take a month or more if ligaments are torn. Something nobody has confirmed.
DeSean Jackson sprained his AC joint in his left shoulder. He will be week to week. If he had dislocated his shoulder he would we out 4 to 8 to 12 weeks.
Everyone heals at a different rate.
Once you dislocate a joint like an ankle or knee that supports all of your weight, that joint becomes loose and more prone to further injury. Rehab will help but the joint will never be 100% as strong it was before the injury. Add two ACL's to to that.
