It's easy, and only takes a few moments.link above gives a good overview of plantar fasciitis, but most of the times I've heard it mentioned as afflicting an athlete it was a chronic condition. that would fit the description in the link ("it gets weak, swollen, and irritated (inflamed). Then your heel or the bottom of your foot hurts when you stand or walk.") but doesn't seem it would bring out the cart. Getting carted off sounds more likely to be some sudden traumatic event, like a serious strain or tear. That might have a different prognosis. Still not good for his prospects to contribute this year. As you rightly point out his footwork will suffer. we'll see. it is what it is.plantar fascia is painful and it won't go away this year as he needs to rest. his footwork, which is essential as a linemen, is going to suffer.

Considering his history of injurys guess better to get hurt now then during the season
yeah, that was my first thought about timeframe. he'll probably be shut down for training camp, might end up on the IR-designated-to-return if nobody else bumps him for it. too bad. but if anybody can fix him mentally it will be Scar, as long as the pt folks get him physically sound....
My bet is that he won't be available until mid year, but that's just throwing a stone in a pond.

Injuries are part of how it gets sorted out. Unfortunate, I was hoping the fresh start would help him turn it around. Still a hope but somewhat fainter now.The chances of all these young interior lineman cooper included working out is slim to none. If you get one long term starter out of the bunch that's great

I believe the Pats traded Chandler for a 2nd round draft pick and 8 Mi in cap space. Cooper was a bônus, a nice one, but I never expected him to come here and be a dominant left guard.
Lets see how this goes , the problem is that 2nd rounder turned out to be what, Valentine??
