‘DWTS’ Rylee Arnold Struggling With Ankle Injury

According to Rylee Arnold’s latest social media activity, she suffered an ankle injury during practice. So what does this mean for her participation for the rest of the season?

DWTS Pro Rylee Arnold Had A Mishap During Rehearsals

Rylee Arnold loves keeping in touch with fans through her Snapchat profile. That’s where she revealed she sadly suffered a sprained ankle during rehearsals.

“Suffered a little injury last night in rehearsal, so starting my day by heading to pt,” the 19-year-old shared with followers. In another photo, she added that she suffered a sprain. However, Rylee added that she was taking careful measures to keep it healthy.

“I have a sprained ankle but it’s going to be just fine. I’m going to do everything I can these next couple weeks to just be really careful to be sure it doesn’t happen again so that it doesn’t get worse,” the professional dancer explained to her Snapchat audience.

Luckily, she will have a little extra time to recover. There won’t be a new episode on October 1 due to the Vice Presidential debate. Instead, Dancing With The Stars will feature two new episodes the following week on October 7-8. The October 7 will reportedly be prerecorded, but the production company may still go easy on Rylee considering her injury.

Could A Troupe Member Fill In?

Although this is only Rylee Arnold’s second year as a pro dancer, she’s also accumulated quite a large audience. Many DWTS fans think she and Stephen Nedoroscik will win the Mirrorball Trophy this year.

Even though the Utah dancer assured fans she’s on the mend, Redditors expressed concern anyway.

“I wonder if a member from the troupe can fill in during rehearsals so Rylee can rest until she has to do the dance on Tuesday🥺” one DWTS viewer wrote on the platform. 

After all, it’s been done plenty of times before. This year’s female troupe members include Stephani Sosa and Kailyn Rogers.

Other Redditors expressed concern, but most agreed that she seemed to be in good spirits. Comments included:

• “🥹😭 she seems pretty chill about it so I think she’ll be okay but this sucks so early in the season.”
• “Oh no! I hope she recovers quickly and if she needs to sit out for a week she does – it’s important for her to prioritize her health.”
• “Rylee just posted a TikTok of her and Stephen doing a TikTok dance on snap, I think as long as she’s careful on her ankle she’ll be fine.”
• “Oh nooo 🥺 I hope she recovers quickly!!! Someone is probably going to step in for her, I’m sure, if it’s too bad to dance on.”
