Mckinstry had an undiagnosed Jones fracture during pro day. I have had experience with Jones fractures in both feet 15 years apart. First the injury is a fracture in the non or very low vascularity portion of Metatarsal V - a bone leading to the pinkie toe. Without treatment, it can lead to permanent disability where the bone never heals. Since it was undetected at the time of injury, it likely is just a fracture without an obvious break in the bone. On the negative side there might be a slight chance that it is worse now because it wasn't detected and may be more difficult to get this notorious spot to heal given the very poor blood supply that defines the Jones diagnosis. I had my first Jones fracture on my right foot back in 1996 after landing on another player’s heel. I opted for a cast. After many months it promptly broke again the first time I made a hard cut in basketball. I tried the bone stimulator for many months to no avail. I finally bit the bullet and had surgery - they attached a plate along the outside of the bone. Eventually, it was fully healed though the plate is still there. Fast forward 2011 - insas under cut a bit and broke the left metatarsal V when I came down on a defenders foot. Wiser now, I called my ortho surgeon and asked for the standard insert be placed inside the bone. Luckily, a cancellation had just occurred and I was in surgery 3 days later. I rehabbed daily and was back to playing in less than 2 months. No problem since - still playing full-court with under 30s at 66 15 months post bypass surgery. Assuming Kool-Aid received an insert, he should be playing in 2-3 months conservatively after surgery at the latest. His repaired bone will be much stronger than his unbroken one. IMO he will be participating in Los Vegas soon.

Also Alonte Taylor did give up the most yards and the most TDs, but everyone fails to mention that he did play the most snaps in the leauge at Nickle Corner. Not just among Saints players, the entire NFL.

As always a great show ! Any word on if Southern California Saints Fans will be able to Watch Training Camp ? Thanks

Kool Aid had a Jones Fracture.

Penning will never play tackle in the NFL… he’s too top heavy, clumsy. He’s a mauler, a guard.

Cultural Appropriate much Fazande ?
