Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 12, 2013 He suffered a turf toe injury in game one. This was a popular injury a few years back and i recall Gates had it one year. What's everyones thought on the impact of this injury. Heard it takes months to heal and makes it near impossible to push off of it. http://www.espnmilwaukee.com/page.php?page_id=278 “Willis fell on my heels and all of my toes dorsiflexed. From there, I felt it during the course of the game, but (with an) adrenaline rush and (because I) wanted to be out there, I didn’t really say nothing until after the game,” Finley said. “But me dealing with a turf toe (is no different) than the next guy's. I have the mentality I want to play. I don’t have anything in my mind that I want to sit down Sunday. We have four days until Sunday, so if it’s up to me I’m going to be up there.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 12, 2013 that injury is a deal breaker when it comes to playing time. its not a pain thing, its an I cant run thing. and a stride thing I recall it being an almost death sentence for running backs. What's the impact of this for a TE or WR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josepaz2 1 Posted September 12, 2013 Great. First Sudfeld shat the bed and cost me my week. I would have won if I had Finley in. Now this? Going to pick up Dallas Clark and see how he does. Any chance this is a misdiagnosis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 12, 2013 Any chance this is a misdiagnosis? Highly doubt it. As he said, his toes were dorsiflexed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted September 12, 2013 I really thought Finley would be good this year and tried to trade for him in a couple leagues. Glad I didn't get him now.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t-birdie 8 Posted September 12, 2013 Highly doubt it. As he said, his toes were dorsiflexed. http://crosscountry.smesports.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/dorsiflexion.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josepaz2 1 Posted September 12, 2013 So his big toe was bent practically flat against the top of his foot ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DankNuggs 305 Posted September 12, 2013 So his big toe was bent practically flat against the top of his foot ??? i read it as a hyperextention of his toes.... dunno... glad I drafted Air Jordan Cameron, actually started him over finley week 1... Add Finley to the LeVeon Bell, Shane Vereen, Jonathan Stewart, Aaron Dobson injury caravan, just keeps expanding... Got more injured guys than healthy.

JohnD. 22 Posted September 12, 2013 James Jones value will go waaaay up if Finley misses time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roroco 75 Posted September 12, 2013 I have less concerns with Finley's toe than I do with his hands. he is the rock monster in Never Ending Story... They look like strong hands.... But they aren't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 720 Posted September 12, 2013 http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/223491291.html Yes...he practiced today. He apparently did this early in the game and kept playing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add Finley to the LeVeon Bell, Shane Vereen, Jonathan Stewart, Aaron Dobson injury caravan, just keeps expanding... Got more injured guys than healthy. Dorsiflexion <> hyperextension, technically speaking. But in practical terms you guys mean the same thing. The toe flexed up beyond its normal range of motion (but not almost flat against the top of his foot, as this certainly would have torn ligaments). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
