That is "Jason" Taylor of the Miami Dolphins?

Ouch. He left the last game but returned later. Maybe it was worse than they realized. He was the one reason I was glad they won a game.

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition affecting the bottom of the foot. It is a common cause of heel pain and is sometimes called a heel spur.

If this was a playoff game I'd say there's a possiblity they'd inject him with a cortozone shot. He's probably out for the game which will NOT break Brady's heart!

It's kind of like a membrane around the heel.

Law had a Lisfranc break which is a tiny bones in the foot where the toe bones meet the archbones.

If it's torn badly, he's out. If it's strained, he can play, but it will be a game-time decision. My guess is that it's strained, and he's on crutches and NSAIDs to help it heal in time for Sunday. The key may be the practice report on Friday.

I ran a marathon on a strained plantar fasciia, and was ready because of massage and NSAID therapy.

well hopefully he's healthy by the time he's our OLB next year

Yeah, it's safe to say Light's daddy is out for this weekend. Thank god, that makes me feel a lot more confident, not that I wasn't in the first place but Taylor stays killin us.

If I am the Dolphins, I shut Taylor down for the last two games even if it is minor. They are going to try to trade the guy in the offseason and the last thing they need is to have him have a major injury while trying to get value for him. The Dolphins avoided the 0-16 season. There is no reason to play him unless he is 100%.
