This is terrible. The team was finally getting going after losing some key people. This just gives him more time to injure a hamstring.

Wait a second. Didn't he break a bone in his foot?

Sounds like it might have been the second metatarsal in his pinkie toe.

thats what they originally thought. so either he's a very fast healer, or they got it all wrong when they said he broke something

giving the track record of our medical team, i'd say they probably screwed up

Either that or Nick Perry is Wolverine. I wouldn't put it past TT to draft someone who turns out to be a marvel comic super hero.

On Thursday, Perry was not in a boot. And Friday, he practiced. The Packers might be getting him back sooner rather than later.

I could be wrong, but I think the boot was the problem.

M3 said he was very limited in practice but did say they were going to try to get him ready for Sunday night. A lot probably depends on how his foot feels tomorrow.

He's coming back sooner than expected? You's think a young player like him would try to fit in.

You can play with a stress fracture, but then it will just get worse.

There is nothing magical about Nick Perry that would allow his bone to heal fast.

I don't get this.

**Pugger** · 10-26-2013, 07:40 AM

I don't either. Bones don't mend this fast, unless he never had a fracture in the first place?

Is that accurate or are you joshing?

Or the reports from the world-renowned journalists at WDUZ and TMJ might have been a wee bit off and he had a non-displaced fracture in his foot and the normal recovery time is 2 weeks in a boot.

Nondisplaced fractures of the proximal portion of metatarsals 1 through 4 can be managed acutely with a posterior splint followed by a molded, non–weight-bearing, short leg cast. If radiography reveals a normal position seven to 10 days after injury, progressive weight bearing may be started, and the cast may be removed three to four weeks later.

Diagnosis and Management of Metatarsal Fractures

http://www.aafp.org/afp/2007/0915/p817.html

Patients with metatarsal fractures often present to primary care settings. Initial evaluation should focus on identifying any conditions that require emergent referral, such as neurovascular compromise and open fractures. The fracture should then be characterized and treatment initiated. Referral is generally indicated for intra-articular or displaced metatarsal fractures, as well as most fractures that involve the first metatarsal or multiple metatarsals. If the midfoot is injured, care should be taken to evaluate the Lisfranc ligament. Injuries to this ligament require referral or specific treatment based on severity. Nondisplaced fractures of the metatarsal shaft usually require only a soft dressing followed by a firm, supportive shoe and progressive weight bearing. Stress fractures of the first to fourth metatarsal shafts typically heal well with rest alone and usually do not require immobilization. Avulsion fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal tuberosity can usually be managed with a soft dressing. Proximal fifth metatarsal fractures that are distal to the tuberosity have a poorer prognosis. Radiographs should be carefully examined to distinguish these fractures from tuberosity fractures. Treatment of fractures distal to the tuberosity should be individualized based on the characteristics of the fracture and patient preference. Nondisplaced fractures of the proximal portion of metatarsals 1 through 4 can be managed acutely with a posterior splint followed by a molded, non-weight-bearing, short leg cast. If radiography reveals a normal position seven to 10 days after injury, progressive weight bearing may be started, and the cast may be removed three to four weeks later.

I don't believe you can safely use a foot to play football after 2 weeks of healing. But maybe we'll find out.
