This is the injury update as of the 22nd from the official site and there's no mention of Ellis breaking an ankle.
This is unconfirmed (nothing in any media) so far so the threads getting locked until some sort of official notification.
Please, no new threads on this until there is confirmation from either the club or via an official news outlet, thanks.

Okay, we've now got official confirmation that he's injured his foot/ankle but seems still no word if it's an actual break or not.

Exciting Hawthorn youngster Xavier Ellis is expected to be sidelined for the next six-to-eight weeks because of a foot injury.
"Hawthorn football manager Mark Evans confirmed that the 18-year-old, the second player selected in last year's NAB AFL Draft, sustained the injury while playing for his school side, Melbourne Grammar, on Wednesday.
"He has most likely fractured a bone in his foot," Evans told afl.com.au.
"It's very swollen and it's not going to be a short-term injury."
Evans said Ellis' main focus in 2006 was to play school football rather than for the Hawks."
