Santonio Not Practicing (turf toe)

Just said he was just sore, and they had to hold Holmes back.


He fully expects him to play.

 

On the other hand Mark's injury sounds worse.


Rex said he expects Mark to play but if not Kellen and old Mark will be ready. I did not want to hear that at all.

 

We desperately need to win this sunday so guys can get some much needed rest week 17!

 

I remember one season Deion Sanders missed pretty much the entire year because of turf toe. I've never had it, not even sure what it is, but hopefully we can limit him Sunday and still win so he can rest week 17.

 

Turf toe is scary to hear..........

it's why Jahvad Best had started off on fire and then has pretty much disappeared. he's been playing with turf toe since week 3 or 4. becomes painful to put pressure on your feet and it's really hard for players at the skill positions

but of course all cases are different

 

Holmes hurt it in the game and didn't think much of it, maybe that's why he couldn't get much separation later in the game.

 

Rex Ryan called it a "Personal Matter."

 

turf toe is a major injury

hard to plant with your feet

 

Hopefully Tone won't have to play against Buffalo.

 

Perhaps Mrs. Ryan could help Tone with his turf toe?

 

Turf Toe is a TOUGH injury. It has derailed some of the better players this year and led to a much worse injury for Antonio Gates. I hope that this isn't a serious case and he can get passed it quick.

I'd like to have him out there Sunday, but am unsure as to whether it would be terrible if we didn't. I'm probably in the minority here but I think the team performed a lot better offensively prior to Holmes' return. They utilized Keller correctly, using his mismatches in coverage very well and Braylon had some great games.

Now I'm not saying I think we're a better team without him persay but it's taking a long time for Schotty to understand the correct way to utilize all of these offensive options/weapons. I think he had a better grip on the offense prior to Holmes first start.

 

Treating Turf Toe

"How Is Turf Toe Treated?

From WebMD
The basic approach to treating turf toe is to give the injury ample time to heal, which means the foot will need to be rested. The doctor may recommend an over-the-counter oral medication such as ibuprofen to control pain and reduce inflammation. The big toe may be taped or strapped to the toe next to it to relieve the stress on it; the toe may be immobilized by putting the foot in a cast or special walking boot that keeps it from moving. The doctor may also ask you to use crutches so that no weight is placed on the injured joint.

It typically takes two to three weeks for the pain to subside. After the immobilization of the joint ends, some patients require physical therapy in order to re-establish range of motion, strength, and conditioning of the injured toe."

"Conservative management in the acute stages, regardless of grade, consists of rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Taping is not recommended in the acute stages because of swelling and the risk of vascular compromise. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help minimize pain and inflammation. In some cases, a short leg cast with a toe spica in slight plantarflexion or a walker boot may be used for the first week to help decrease pain. Gradual range of motion begins in 3-5 days following injury.

After the acute stages, conservative management is based on the grade of injury, as follows:

Grade I injuries are treated by taping the great toe to the lesser toes to prevent movement of the hallux metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. Players may also consider using an insole containing a carbon fiber steel plate in the forefoot. As always, the overall goal is to restrict forefoot motion. Usually, persons with grade I injuries can return to play immediately, with only mild pain.

Grade 2 injuries are treated in the same way as grade 1 injuries are, but athletes may lose significantly more playing time. Lost playing time can range from 3-14 days. Use of a fracture walker and/or crutches is preferred.

Grade 3 injuries usually require long-term immobilization in a boot or cast rather than surgical intervention. Frequently, these injuries result in 2-6 weeks of missed playing time. Return to play is generally acceptable when 50-60 º of passive dorsiflexion is possible without pain."





So I'm guessing it's a Grade 1 since Holmes wanted to practice but was held back.

 

Turf toe sucks and can be a very frustrating injury for recievers who need to plant and cut on a dime. Very painful and slow healing. Hopefully it's mild turf toe and not the severe kind, which can really limit ones effectiveness.

Ive had it, and it seems to be worse for RB's and players who need to push and drive off of the toe more.

 

Of course it's a foot related injury... Ahh the irony.

 

I wouldn't play him this week. We can get it done with the other receivers and defense.

 

if cotch is 100 percent id hold holmes back for the next 2 weeks and sign coles back for reciever depth

 

Turf Toe must have been made a valid ailment to be prescribed medical marijuana for

 

turf toe can be career ending in some cases. It all depends on how bad it is and how well they take care of it.

 

How did I not catch this?? good work.
