Monitoring Wynn injury situation (Placed on IR)

Thuney at LT may be the best choice. In any case, if Wynn has turf toe, BB is likely to make a trade.

I don't think you can get plantar fasciitis from football, can you? I've had it twice and it occured because of the shoes I was wearing...it's basically an inflammation on the bottom of your foot.

Lay off the heals dude.

Just hoping he and cannon can be back around the time we play Cleveland. Until then its hard to see any losses even with the current ol. Only buffalo remotely worries me but our defense should be able to carry us in that one.

Can't they just chop off his toe, he's needed on the team.

Ah, I see what you did there.

Hopefully, Dante can make some Cajustements.

No injury is good of course, but in the context of Achilles, PF, fracture, etc., this is good news. Will return but might miss some time during the soft part of the schedule.

A bad turf toe injury can linger all season and he will be diminished if he has to play through it

It’s not good news unless it’s a mild 3-4 week injury. If it’s a more severe case of turf toe, it’s a big problem

Quarterbacks only drop back from under center around 10% of the time now, so there's no "blind side" to protect anymore.

I don't understand this. Even if they're not throwing from under center, they still turn their body in readiness to throw as they're surveying the field. So there's still a blind side. And the best pass rushers on the line are still usually the right DE.

Sure. As I said, relative to the other possibilities, this is a better situation. Main concern was aggravation of Achilles. Of course we still await word on severity, but outlook still not bad in that he will almost certainly return.

• Grade 1. Initial treatment is with rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Taping the big toe to the adjacent toe will provide some support during healing. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications may relieve pain and swelling. Pain is usually tolerable and an athlete can continue sports participation using a stiff-soled shoe. Orthotics are sometimes used. Typical return to play is at about 1 week after injury.
• Grade 2. To keep the big toe joint immobilized for proper healing, a walking boot may be prescribed for up to a week if needed. Afterwards, these injuries are managed with a taping regimen and the Grade 1 treatments discussed above. Stretching and strengthening exercises can reduce joint stiffness. In most cases, an athlete with a Grade 2 injury needs 2 to 4 weeks of treatment before returning to play.
• Grade 3. These more severe injuries are most often treated with immobilization for several weeks. The athlete may wear a walking boot or be put in a cast that keeps the big toe in a partially pointed down position. These injuries often need 4 to 6 weeks of treatment before return to play but some may take substantially longer.

Turf Toe Injuries Can Be Successfully Treated | Sideline Sports Doc

OL held up pretty well against Miami, then again its miami. Its important to keep Karras at center because Center is probably the second most important position on offense behind Brady. The center is responsible with communications between the qb and the other O linemen.

The next couple of games can give us a good indication of this OL

Scar will have to find the right combo for O line with all of these guys out. Karras should always be center though.

Wynn should just toe the line and get back to do his job

Is there a chance OT Yody Cajuste make his debut?? He has to be better than a couple of guys we currently have.

he is a ghost

Would sliding Wynn into to Guard put less pressure on his turf toe?*** And thus allow him to return 1-2 weeks earlier?

***Assuming we don't use him on pulling plays and just leave him in to block straight up or block up field. IMO, a tackle gets "turned" more than a guard.

But Quarterbacks throw about twice as much.

Doesn't that factor in?

Maybe read the article first.

Patriots will need to somehow get through this. Trent Williams isn't walking through that door. He would've already been here.

As part of the NFI list he’s unable to practice or play within the first 6 weeks. Huge question mark still though in terms of how far along he is, and the timeline from when he can feasibly step onto a field.
