What is a Midfoot Sprain?

A midfoot sprain is an injury to the ligaments of the central region of the foot, known as the midfoot. It is a common injury that occurs during athletics, in particular those sports where there is cutting and twisting that can lead to this injury. It can cause an athlete to miss considerable time from his or her season. Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers and Jason Witten of the Dallas Cowboys are two recent high level athletes who sustained a sprain of their midfoot.

As a guy that who has had numerous sprains over the years, primarily due to basketball in my younger years and snowboarding during the last decade or so, the thing to note about a "sprain" is that the devil is in the details. The primary details being the specific ligament(s) involved and the grade of the sprain. Sprains range from grade one to grade three with grade one generally being just a strain or stretching if the ligaments with no actual structural damage done. Grade two means a partial tear with likely some degree of joint instability and a grade three is a complete tear. Yes, a torn ACL is technically still a "sprain". It's a grade three ACL sprain. Basically sprains can range from no big deal and in a week or two you'll never know it happened to major ordeals. Minor ones can also accumulate over time to create chronic issues. If you remember a few years back when Cam had surgery to "tighten" his ankle ligaments that was almost certainly due to repeated mild sprains over the years.

I have no personal experience with foot sprains so I can't help out there. Most of my sprains have been ankle, knee, or wrist related.

It's pretty much always a good sign if someone has a foot injury and is walking under their own power without crutches/assistance otherwise. 

I could see Cam playing week 1, there's such a wide variety in recovery times for foot sprains. Could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to a few months to heal completely.

An athlete with a midfoot sprain will have sustained a twisting or pivoting injury to his or her foot. They will develop immediate pain and later front of foot swelling in the central region of their foot. The swelling often can lead to bruising on either the top of foot or bottom of the foot.

Based on that section, I can now put a name to what happened to myself a few years back playing ball with some friends on Fridays. I actually ended up spraining each of my feet in separate instances about 10 months apart and they both sucked. My two sprains didn't require any surgery or anything serious, but it took 2-3 weeks before I was really able to run/cut on it again. Even bearing weight on it for a considerable amount of time was a pain in the *** for the first week and a half.

With the world class medicine and treatment he'll have, he'll likely be ready for Week 1 if it's only the severity that I experienced.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
