To your point, X-ray of lady at Busch Gardens amusement park at 0-dark thirty, no trauma, pain for days to down…. positive base of 5th metatarsal fx. It’s not terrible based on degree. It is an attached point… reason why it breaks so to speak. Tendon to bone. Henry will be back, with better shoes. 6/10 weeks. Never good to have a foot injury, but if it’s a 5th vs cuneiform issues, be happy! Henry ain’t no Dudd! Oh, and btw, use terms such as outside for lateral. Never mind, any football guy on a fan sight understands. I’m always asked about such terms.

I’ll help then… Bone becoming new bone where bone did not exist
Henry should be held out for the season.
As just a few of the brighter minds noted above- this is now about the OL. Tanny is absolutely one of the top 3 QBs in league WHEN HE HAS TIME. He’s accurate and can make EVERY throw.
Studies show- Play action works no matter WHO the back is.
The loss of Henry will be felt, but honestly, if we lost Tanny instead the season would be over. It aint!

Quicker? Yes. Faster? No.
He will have the stress point reinforced w/ screws +/- a pin/rod. And with his personality and work ethic, I estimate he will do EVERYTHING that is known to medicine to expedite his recovery. So he could be available for the playoffs.
The big question is just where he'll be when he comes back. Time off from the game week grind and then game day will allow a lot of healing to occur elsewhere as well. But he will suffer some conditioning loss and leg muscle atrophy due to not being able to bear weight for a while. He has the right personality to minimize that.
I think we will see him in the playoffs on a snap count. And if we can get our interior OL to create space, even at 75% he'll be effective.

Didn’t know he was an orthopod. Spend a lot of time in surgery with em. Two foot specialist.
My expectation is that he will be ready for Sunday night
Not really since McNichols is pretty good at the same role. Evans wasn't a back we could hand the ball to 30 times a game anyway.
Main thing we lose is that dependable short yardage and goaline guy. Getting a guy who can average 4 yards a carry might already be on the roster. A real key is getting Julio back so we have a one two punch and whoever is the RB won't be facing 8 and 9 man fronts. If we bring someone in it would be a bigger guy we can use in short yardage. Could also consider brining back Brian Hill or maybe TJ Yeldon. Neither are probably better than Sargent.
You mean like Adrian Peterson Or D'omtae Foreman?
All this reminds me of my junior year in high school when playing in a basketball game for my school and coming down sideways on my foot from a rebound. My ankle was fine and I finished the game. But my foot after the game was awful and I couldn't walk on it for three days. Upon X-ray, it was determined I had a 3rd metatarsal stress fracture that was already healing. So this injury just aggravated it, but it wasn't the original injury. I don't remember doing anything to it but I'd had a minor occasional pain there in the middle of my foot from before the season. I finally reckoned that I likely did it running up the concrete stairs of Vanderbilt's Dudley Field stadium for pre-season conditioning.
It isn’t just about a 4 yard guy, Henry is a big part of the reason why we dominant the time of possession every game, and the main reason Tannehill gets the luxury of throwing into single coverages. Bringing in another guy that averages 4.3 yac doesn’t replace Henry.
Pretty obvious you don’t “replace” the best RB in the league, but it can be managed to some extent.
As for the atrophy, I have zero doubt he will find a way to work out. Pool work, band work, something.
