That story minimizes the effect of the injury. I just don't see how he will bounce back so soon.
Stout, how are your feet doing?

Actually, after the stage combat class I took, a bit better, thanks...but only a weeeeee bit. Helped to stabilize my one ankle, all the work we did, but the fact remains I need ankle surgery. In my wrecked condition, I don't think my feet will do any better until my ankle is fixed properly.
Wistrom isn't anywhere near as bad as I am. Still, plantar fascitis is nothing to scoff at, for sure.

It's not impossible to play through the injury, it depends on his pain tolerance. But, if it's hard for him to push off on that foot, he's basically useless. Thank God we didn't sign him. Stout, weren't you one of the guys bitching that we didn't jump on Wistrom?

I sure was. He's a damn fine player under normal circumstances. Of course, plantar fascitis can certainly change all that. I suspect it's a recent occurance, as we haven't heard anything of it yet. If it's only a mild case, he should be fine, but as he flunked his physical for it, it could go one of two ways, IMO...one, it could be a precautionary thing that they want to rest for a little while so he won't aggravate it...two, it could be much worse.
One thing for sure...playing through it with pain tolerance isn't very advisable. Rest is just about the best thing for it, along with a good stretching regimen, as well as heat and cold.

I was ahuge advocate of trying to sign him as well. I would have rather had him than Berry at the time. The injury certainly changes that train of thought.

Yeah, he's probably shut down for the preseason. I like Wistrom too, but at about half the money the Seahawks gave him.

While they would rather have him healthy, Winstrom’s injury is in all likelihood, not that serious. I have had PF, and while painful, isnt that big a deal.
The Hawks will hold him out for a few weeks to let it heal, give it lots of treatment, and then put an insert in his shoe. I will be shocked if this causes him to miss any regular season games.

Lol The stage combat class is for the graduate program in Shakespeare...that's how I managed to weasel my way in.
The Seahawks run their training camp at Cheney, Wash. Just out of Spokane, and about 200 miles from where I live.
The local news around here, and out of Cheney, is that Wistrom's problem is not considered all that serious, and that he may be practicing in about a week.

I had plantar fasciaitis in my left heel all last bball season and played with it. What the deal was for me was that it was ok once you get warmed and start playing.But about an hour after your done and cooled down then you can barely walk on it.Same thing in the morning,once you get up you can't hardly walk for awhile and it gets better as the day goes on.I don't know the severity of his but it was very painful and if it affects him while he's playing then i don't see how could play through the pain.But if it is like mine then it should have no effect while on the field.

It's all about the seriousness. I could never run with any regularity now, and I know people who have it and have very little problems. If it's not too bad, he won't have much of a problem.
