that actually makes sense!

Quick definition: It’s a condition where a person has difficulty lifting the front part of the foot such that the toes can dead unless they step unusually high. It’s usually associated with nerve or muscle damage higher in the leg and can be temporary or permanent. The foot kind of flops
I believe drop foot is when your foot almost dangles because you cant lift/ raise the front part of your foot. Usually its because of nerve damage
*toes can drag*

It's not advice, it's concern. Coming back from a ligament tear is one thing, there's generally a prognosis and reasonable estimate of recovery time. Drop foot is entirely different, depending on how bad it is and what's caused it. In some cases, it's a permanent condition that you have to work around.

Can anyone confirm if our punters also have drop foot?

I think GP needs to drop a foot off into Muck’s azz.

I believe Jaylon Smith had it. Nerve issues. Not good.

Red Foreman style.
Last year, at least at the start of the year, Jaylon Smith wore a special kind of shoe that kind of lifted the foot for him, which allowed him to play. Not ideal, but if a LB can play in the NFL with the condition, even if he's a bit compromised, you'd have to think a QB would have a shot too.

I agree. Also Robinson still has several months of recovery still to go before the 2019 season begins. Hopefully he will continue to work his way to a full recovery (no drop foot!)

amazing thing is how hard Jaylon goes and works.
defense on interior? we are not there yet. better offensively. we have to find a way to be better on defense. we've gone with 4 shooters on court. more skilled guys. we want to be best defensive team in the league.
new developmental league? not sure how its going to play out. nba is doing it for the nba. helps their G League. they are trying to make it better.

He said Shawn and his family made the call to try to play through it.

I’m clear on drop foot. Also clear that he can make full recovery and have a great career. Jaylon Smith referenced above is now one of the faster LB’s in the league after having a very severe case.
You stated ‘that’s not good for his playing career,’ he may be just fine and have a great career.
