How the hell do you break your foot running around by yourself?

Turf

broken foot is broken foot and it heals. i'm sure we all though it was an achilles or liz frank (or w/e). if its a 6-10 week injury and he's healthy you play him. this is a wild card team.

Do not rush this man back. Give him adequate time to heal. The future is too bright right now to get focused on instant success. We give him 10+ weeks to heal and he is back before we even play Tampa.

exactly. its week 3. you get him back by week 13ish and hopefully at that time we are in strong wild card contention.

I'm hopeful he's back practicing Week 12, Week 13 is a bye, and back in the lineup Week 14.

But if it's multiple bones...yeesh...that's probably wishful thinking.

This reads like the worst case scenario.

Not really. Worst case scenario would've been achilles. This is likely only season ending if our season falls apart and we don't want to risk bringing him back. The long end of the recovery is 3 months which puts us in December. He should be back for a few regular season games and playoffs if we're still in that conversation. Pretty good news all things considered. There was never a chance with the way it looked and his reaction that this wasn't going to at least be a few month recovery. Just thrilled it's not a 6-8+ month recovery and potential career altering injury.

Glad it’s not the Achilles. But what a bummer. Horn is a key piece. Donte Jackson has to play out of his mind.

Yes, achilles was the absolute worst fear.

 

But I meant worst case for "just a fracture".  If you are breaking multiple bones in the middle of your foot, there has to be ligament damage as well.   I just don't see any chance he comes back this season.

Short week and turf has injured many players. Someone should do a study on the increased injuries of a short week.

Depends. Could be a hairline fracture that heals up in a month. But the way Horn was grimacing and needing help off the field, I have a feeling it’s a more extensive injury.

LOL at “metatarsal area” as the location. Is it tarsometatarsal? Base? Shaft? I need more than this.
