He's keeping his front knee 'soft' and bending off it. So he's not peg legging it.
If he were favoring that ankle too much (and make no mistake, he will favor it a little bit), I think you'd see him locking that front knee to take some strain and off his drive leg as his base would have his weight shifted further forward.
But if he's keeping that front knee bent, I think that's a good sign that the weight distribution is pretty even and you'll see relatively 'ordinary' (for him) mechanics. Obviously that doesn't speak to the possibility of aggravating it, but I think he'll enter that game sound enough to do anything we'd need him to do.
The ankle is going to be out of sight, out of mind for me unless/until he proves otherwise. There's nothing more to see here, IMO.
