At the minimum, I would suggest you correctly tape your ankle every single time you train. There is a specific way of taping ankles which involves alternating layers of U-shaped bands over your lower leg and foot, centering on the back and bottom of your heel. It's done this way to anatomically support your own tendons. You can probably find how to do it on-line.
You, believe it or not, are actually at the most dangerous period of your lay-up. Because you feel good and the way most of us roll live, you're hughly prone to secondary injury. This means a worst injury with a smaller mechanism. And, the recovery period with a secondary injury is generally much much longer than the primary injury. Be very aware and careful, knowing this.
Not telling you not to train or roll! Not at all!! Just to do it intelligently and with proper precautions. Believe me, I'm the last to not train--currently training safely, but in unorthodox manner 30 days after ACL reconstruction/meniscus repair. With clearance by my Ortho/Rehab team. You just gotta do it right, that's all.
Sorry for the lengthy reply, but I like to help get our Nibiru warriors out on the mats, SAFELY and QUICKLY. Good to have you back!
