WR Hakeem Nicks fractured his foot during OTAs today. He’ll undergo
surgery on Friday to have a screw inserted into the broken bone. The
team expects Nicks to be out 12 weeks. That timetable would have him
back by mid-August. He’ll miss virtually all of training camp, but
barring a setback, he should be able to get in some action in the
preseason and be ready to roll for Week 1. There are 5 different types
of 5th metatarsal fractures. The first type is called a Jones Fracture.
Athletes will usually get these fixed because of the poor blood supply
to the bone as it heals.
These still can take a long time to heal and requires one to be in a cast and non weight bearing.
