Turf Toe - OrthoInfo - AAOS
Turf toe is a sprain of the main joint of the big toe. It occurred more frequently in American football players after artificial turf became more common on playing fields. Although often associated with football, turf toe occurs in a wide range of sports and activities.
orthoinfo.aaos.orgI have provided a link for this injury for anyone who doesn't know what it is.
This injury is caused by pushing off - most likely in a hard cut. I have read several articles that talks about how CGM is violent in the way he plays the WR position, especially in the way he runs routes.
We all - as well as the media - talk about how he is oft injured. It wasn't the ankle injury that bothered him last year, but this new injury.
He posted a video of him dead lifting 575 lbs, and this bodes well for him for the season. Unless there is a new injury, I think he will be alright.
I believe that CGM is hungry this year, and most likely has a huge chip on his shoulder going in to the season.
In reading up on the toe injury, I'm beginning to feel a lot better about him and being able to play this season. Mike is only around 30 years old, and he hasn't played much in the last 3 years, so there isn't as much wear and tear on his body as there could be. He has fresh legs.
CGM is one of the best WR's in the NFL, and we saw that in the 3 games he played in last year. He literally took over the Atlanta game in the 4th quarter. He can still be a dominant force when healthy.
Injuries are a part of the game and will happen. CGM has had a bad run of luck
. But I believe that is finished. CGM, Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Alvin Kamara (after the suspension), Jamal Williams, Kendre Miller, Taysom Hill, Juwan Johnson, Mareax - and, improved QB play. Mike no longer has to put the team on his shoulder any longer. He doesn't have to be the man.
Man, I'm looking so forward to this season. We are loaded on offense, and the defense should be even better.
