    Most of what @Jwill1919 has said is right so far. Weekly CT scans is excessive though, and you want the bone to heal primarily so you really shouldn't see any callus. Going back to what someone else said earlier though, is there any proof that he has a Jones fracture? Sorry if it's been posted already

    When I say callus formation I'm talking about new growth, not scar.

    Kevin Durant had a Jones fracture and their names are kinda similar, so it pretty much happened.

    I wish people would leave Dodd alone - Training Camp isn't even here yet.

    Hopefully he's ready to go and we don't have to use the insurance policy we drafted on him - Carraway.

    But either way, labeling him a bust at this point is beyond embellishing the definition of the word

    Yea, it's still way too early to call him a bust.

    What I don't get, how is it that it seems like 2 dudes on this fan forum know more about the injury than team doctors?

    Can't it just be possible we don't have all the info?

    The Team Doctors know the same stuff, the problem here is Dodd, not listening to his body. He tried to push it too early last year and it's obvious his foot hasn't healed properly or he wouldn't be having pain.

    Maybe he feels the need to push the schedule because he feels like a bust? Who knows, but if he isn't being honest to his Surgeons that's on him. They can't feel pain for him, they can just listen to his answers and check scans.

    How many times do you think an athlete has been not forthcoming about pain or a particular injury? Didn't a story just come out this week about Tom Brady not disclosing a concussion this year?

    All this talk about a Jones fracture... A 4th round pick (I can't remember which team) this year, just had surgery for what they called a Jones fracture and he's expected to be OK for camp at the end of July. So, why is it that Dodds is life threatening but this other guy is expected back in a few months?
