Henry’s Foot Injury Thread

Maybe Rex Ryan can help? He's a foot specialist after all.

 

My expectation is that he will be ready for Sunday night

 

Not really since McNichols is pretty good at the same role. Evans wasn't a back we could hand the ball to 30 times a game anyway.

 

Main thing we lose is that dependable short yardage and goaline guy. Getting a guy who can average 4 yards a carry might already be on the roster. A real key is getting Julio back so we have a one two punch and whoever is the RB won't be facing 8 and 9 man fronts. If we bring someone in it would be a bigger guy we can use in short yardage. Could also consider brining back Brian Hill or maybe TJ Yeldon. Neither are probably better than Sargent.

 

You mean like Adrian Peterson Or D'omtae Foreman?

 

All this reminds me of my junior year in high school when playing in a basketball game for my school and coming down sideways on my foot from a rebound. My ankle was fine and I finished the game. But my foot after the game was awful and I couldn't walk on it for three days. Upon X-ray, it was determined I had a 3rd metatarsal stress fracture that was already healing. So this injury just aggravated it, but it wasn't the original injury. I don't remember doing anything to it but I'd had a minor occasional pain there in the middle of my foot from before the season. I finally reckoned that I likely did it running up the concrete stairs of Vanderbilt's Dudley Field stadium for pre-season conditioning.

 

It isn’t just about a 4 yard guy, Henry is a big part of the reason why we dominant the time of possession every game, and the main reason Tannehill gets the luxury of throwing into single coverages. Bringing in another guy that averages 4.3 yac doesn’t replace Henry.

 

Pretty obvious you don’t “replace” the best RB in the league, but it can be managed to some extent.

 

As for the atrophy, I have zero doubt he will find a way to work out. Pool work, band work, something.
