Sounds exactly like what happened to Julio Jones. He came back and had a pretty good year in 2014 after fixing his broken foot.If it's a CT scan, its a bone in his foot. If it's broken he needs surgery to fix it. Hope it's just a sprain in there and he's back for fall
if its a bone, then good. If it's a tendon (or other soft tissue), then bad.If it's a CT scan, its a bone in his foot. If it's broken he needs surgery to fix it. Hope it's just a sprain in there and he's back for fall
That's encouraging. I hope he's better soon.Quaide will appreciate all of your kind words. The x-ray didn't show any fractures but we just have to wait until tomorrow to hear the results for the CT scan.
He injured his foot at the beginning of the last drive on Saturday and then finished it out. My parents both went and said he played well and had a few really good runs right after it happened. I'm sure continuing to play on it really didn't help.
He's going to be in good hands so all we can do is just stay positive.
This always makes me think of the two edged sword of playing injured. You want to show the coach you are a tough gamer and won't go down with just any little nick or bump but on the other hand there are lots of times in this sport when the best thing to do would be take yourself out and tell the trainer, "I felt something funny when I . . ." But no player wants to get a reputation for being soft. It seems like the athlete is put in an impossible situation in some cases. Since football is a rough sport there are probably lots of times when a player should pause even if they think it is not that bad and they can play through it. But what are you going to do...?Quaide will appreciate all of your kind words. The x-ray didn't show any fractures but we just have to wait until tomorrow to hear the results for the CT scan.

Not necessarily true in the foot. They'd do an MRI if they thought it was anything soft tissue related. The problem with foot bones is they are really difficult if not impossible to set without surgery. Also they are long and thin and deal with incredible forces in a normal person, let alone a D1 athlete. Hope it's just a hairline fracture or something where rest will heal itif its a bone, then good. If it's a tendon (or other soft tissue), then bad.
And many of the bones in the foot get a piss poor blood supply, making the healing process take way longerNot necessarily true in the foot.

Caveat: I'm not a doctor, but I am a rehab engineer
I would imagine playing pickup basketball games helps a big guy with agility, athleticism, and conditioning, so it's not like Griffin was doing something with no redeeming value. In effect it's just a different variety of workout.Injury like that (during a scrimmage) is easier to accept than an injury during a pickup BB game

There's that, and the reality that one cannot recruit competitive guys on one hand and on the other tell them not play competitive sports.I would imagine playing pickup basketball games helps a big guy with agility, athleticism, and conditioning, so it's not like Griffin was doing something with no redeeming value.

Jay Shoop took care of what might have been the exact same injury to me in 1974 at Furman. Jay has probably learned a bit about ankle injuries in 40+ years.That's encouraging. I hope he's better soon.
He is in good hands. Jay Shoop and the medical staff are good people. I believe they not only do a good job, they're also a class act as human beings.
