What is a Midfoot Sprain?

A midfoot sprain is an injury to the ligaments of the central region of the foot, known as the midfoot. It is a common injury that occurs during athletics, in particular those sports where there is cutting and twisting that can lead to this injury. It can cause an athlete to miss considerable time from his or her season. Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers and Jason Witten of the Dallas Cowboys are two recent high level athletes who sustained a sprain of their midfoot.

As a guy that who has had numerous sprains over the years, primarily due to basketball in my younger years and snowboarding during the last decade or so, the thing to note about a "sprain" is that the devil is in the details. The primary details being the specific ligament(s) involved and the grade of the sprain. Sprains range from grade one to grade three with grade one generally being just a strain or stretching if the ligaments with no actual structural damage done. Grade two means a partial tear with likely some degree of joint instability and a grade three is a complete tear. Yes, a torn ACL is technically still a "sprain". It's a grade three ACL sprain. Basically sprains can range from no big deal and in a week or two you'll never know it happened to major ordeals. Minor ones can also accumulate over time to create chronic issues. If you remember a few years back when Cam had surgery to "tighten" his ankle ligaments that was almost certainly due to repeated mild sprains over the years.

I have no personal experience with foot sprains so I can't help out there. Most of my sprains have been ankle, knee, or wrist related.

It's pretty much always a good sign if someone has a foot injury and is walking under their own power without crutches/assistance otherwise. 

I could see Cam playing week 1, there's such a wide variety in recovery times for foot sprains. Could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to a few months to heal completely.

An athlete with a midfoot sprain will have sustained a twisting or pivoting injury to his or her foot. They will develop immediate pain and later front of foot swelling in the central region of their foot. The swelling often can lead to bruising on either the top of foot or bottom of the foot.

Based on that section, I can now put a name to what happened to myself a few years back playing ball with some friends on Fridays. I actually ended up spraining each of my feet in separate instances about 10 months apart and they both sucked. My two sprains didn't require any surgery or anything serious, but it took 2-3 weeks before I was really able to run/cut on it again. Even bearing weight on it for a considerable amount of time was a pain in the *** for the first week and a half.

With the world class medicine and treatment he'll have, he'll likely be ready for Week 1 if it's only the severity that I experienced.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
