He should be. Lisfranc injuries are the worst foot injuries you can have. Especially the one OG suffered. It was very severe. Unfortunately, even after surgery, rehab, and healing, in a lot of athletes it causes long term arthritis, which can be annoying. For the severity of OG’s injury the average return time for a football player is 11 months. Thankfully OG is a specimen , which will always help compared to your average joe shmoe. Have to hope he has a Julio Jones comeback where he has his best 2 years post lisfranc fracture. It’s tough to tell because the severity varies.  Based on OG’s assessment i am sure he had plates or screws, maybe both placed.  I also get nervous with the low top shoes he wears, which doesn’t offer much support. Chet Holgrem is another athlete who missed his freshman season with a lisfranc but returned this year and hasn’t missed a beat. Dwight Freeney also had the injury, but I don’t believe it was as severe and he came back and destroyed as usual. Each player is different, but there doesn’t seem to be any complications and it’s a good sign he’s running in straight lines. I’m guessing they won’t push it. Probably sit out spring as a precaution and then get ready to open it up during pre fall camp workouts. Someone needs to have Jordan make a mid or high top shoe for extra support.
