Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Jarrod Baxter, a FB for the Texans has a sprained arch and ESPN just said he may miss the season because of it. I know it is a sensitive area but does it take that long to heal? :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Robert Royal missed last season with an ankle sprain it's all a matter of your depth and who you want to 'store' on IR for the season. also a matter of when guys get hurt and how that can help or hurt you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinker Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Royal had a high ankle sprain which can take 6 weeks to fully heal. Spurrier last year admitted that he made a mistake putting him on IR instead of waiting for him to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Remember that a sprain = a partial tear. I don't know if you've ever hurt the plantar tendon (that runs along the bottom of your foot, through the arch), but when I merely strained it while playing baseball it was one of the most painful things I'd ever experienced. It totally destroyed my ability to push off with that foot. While "out for the season" seems a bit much, it probably means that he's out for a while, and his health needs are such that they've just decided to store him on IR because they like his skills. And yes, that's essentially what we did with Royal last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashae Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Plantar fascitis has taken out many a basketball player for a whole year... hell, Deion and Charles Woodson both missed major time for turf toe. The little things with your feet can really screw you up. -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
