A couple of comments on foot injuries:
They're a really big deal for any player ( Joe Burrow missed 10 games with a turf toe) but they are especially tricky for the Big Guys
One reason for that is that if you injure your wrist, you can put a cast on it and use your other hand/arm. But with foot injuries, its nearly impossible to keep all weight off it while healing
up and he weighs 275+
With 26 different small bones in the foot, each injury is kind of unique and each player heals at a different rate. Feet are very complex. Big bones like a femur actually heal faster than the small bones of the foot/ankle
LVN is a young player, so they don't have years of previous injuries to use as a guide for his recovery, but as I noted - he has the very best medical team in his corner.
The other tough part about foot injuries is that your feet are furthest from your heart. So they don't get the full blood supply like other organs AND they are last at the trough when it comes to the various nutrients/biologicals needed for a full recovery.
Wishing him all the best in his return to play
