Curtis Samuel Turf Toe, Other Injury Updates

[Process]

This is a pretty brutal update with so many guys being week to week this close to the season. 

 

Samuel with turf toe, isn't that something that can linger? And MVS out multiple weeks. Our depth at WR suddenly isn't looking that strong. 

 

And it looks like there is the potential for Lewis to be the starting S week 1.

“suddenly”?

 

[Back2Buff]

Turf toe ended Claypool's career.

[Dillenger4]

Holy crap! This shite just doesn't ever end.

Mitch Trubisky injured - with what, a suspected torn heartilage?

[yall]

Oof. I didn't realize he had turf toe.

 

That's a big kick in the Jimmy.

Where did the turf toe injury occur?

Pretty sure it occurred on the turf

[Logic]

Turf toe absolutely lingers and absolutely limits players' effectiveness.

Of all that bad injury news, Samuel having turf toe is easily the worst of it. Especially with how integral it sounded like he was going to be to this team's plans offensively. There is really no one on our offense that can replicate his skillset, either.

This is NOT good.

Potential week one WRs:

Coleman 
Hollins
Shakir
Shavers
Hamler

That is truly ugly. Good God.

Probably hard to really pinpoint. Likely one of those things that just gets progressively worse until you can't play with it anymore.

[Blank Stare]

Of course Samuel has turf toe. Unreal. 

[Logic]

The severity of Samuel's turf toe would be a great thing to know, as it drastically affects the outlook for his recovery. We have to assume from the "week to week" language that it's not Grade 3. 

 

Grade 1: A mild case that may heal on its own in a few days to a week with rest. 

Grade 2: May require a few days to a couple of weeks off, but could take a few weeks to fully heal. 

Grade 3: Can take two to six months to heal, and may require surgery and wearing a cast for six or more weeks. A study of 15 football players with grade 3 injuries found they missed an average of 16.5 weeks of playing time while recovering from surgery.

As long as he suits up and plays Week 1 is my only concern thus far. I'm going to assume he can. 

[Royale with Cheese]

Turf toe can heal in a few weeks if you rest the hell out of it which Samuel has time.

Claypool was playing through it because he was trying to make the team.

 

Justin Jefferson played through turf toe in 2022 and didn't miss a game.

On his foot.

I was probably semi in the minority thinking that the WR room was good enough. But they have to bring in someone of significance at this point. I know that's difficult at this point but you gotta find a way.
