85% of ankle sprains are inversion sprains. The ligaments effected are the anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament. The muscles effected may be the peroneus longus and brevis. The vascular, nervous, and lymphatic systems are also effected.
Here's a thorough website on ankle sprains:

Mainly, the "do your own homework " system appears to have taken quite a hit. The probable cause is late night partying and general laziness. Good luck!

It wouldn't be the achilles tendon that would be affected first - it would be the lateral ligaments of the foot. Muscles that run on the lateral side of the leg and foot are also affected.

the achilles tendens are the most likely to be damaged as they are near the ankle and bear most of the weight.
