Rex in a protective boot

[HuskerCarter]

Didn't he have a protective boot last year late in the season?

 

That was Taylor Martinez, and he had it on the wrong foot.

That's some funny stuff!

[Foppa]

Does this mean Bo isn't giving him 55 snaps at 4 different positions this Fri.?

Well this Friday should be interesting then. I have never seen a RB play with a protective boot on before.

if it's the same foot at his freshman year, maybe they should cut it off. One RB leg is better then anyother Rb's two.

i will just cut to the chase here and say it........it was plain stupid for Pelini to run this kid into the ground in such a grueling season. he was bound to show some stress along the way with such a heavy work load. damnit, we have other backs that can rotate in, you have to be smart about it, by November all your best horses are gonna show wear and tear.......i call piss poor decision making on Pelini's part, another example of hard headedness. sure Rex is going to want to play, but coaches are paid to use their brain and protect their atheletes and ensure their longevity.....

If someone can score me one of those protective boots, let me know. This stress fracture is starting to get really annoying.

 

I hope it is not that or anything worse.

Thanks man. But I'm pretty sure it's a stress fracture. I've had one before on the other foot. Feels exactly the same.

The tweets following suggested it was more precautionary than anything else. Could be coach speak...

Get one of these ASAP Dude:

 

I broke my foot (right meniscus) about 9 weeks ago and wore the boot for the first 7. I'm walking around just fine now and even did lightweight squats yesterday with only a little discomfort - and no pain. I didn't use crutches (loaned mine out once and never got them back), but could have easily shaved a week or two off the 7 weeks if I had.

 

Just google Nebraska Orthopedics. They're called Cam Walking boots. Sorry, keeping mine to myself. I just don't think I could swap foot stink with another dude.

 

They can be anywhere from $50 to $250. Just my 2¢, but if you can, get a more expensive version - they'll last longer. Mines a $200 on 4 years ago, and its gone through 2 broken/severely sprained ankles and this recent foot injury. Still going strong, if a little stinky - always wear socks with it!!! If you can, also purchase the set of crutches and make sure they're sized for you by a professional.

Sean Callahan says Rex moved around well at practice today. One of the first guys on the field.

That would come in handy.

I hope he is okay and gets healed up. He put a lot of mileage on his body this season.

Great news! Would still love to the triplets get the vast majority of reps.

[PaulCrewe]

Maybe he is sporting the the boot to prep the foot for all the Herky brown eyes he will be planting it in.
