Not looking good for Best , these injuries last all season.

Jahvid Best may have sprained toe ligaments

Jahvid Best - RB - DET - Sep. 26 - 11:54 p.m. ET

Jahvid Best is reportedly concerned that he has sprained ligaments in his right big toe.

Best could put no weight on his foot after Sunday's loss. The Lions don't comment publicly on injuries, so it'll be hard to get any timetables out of GM Martin Mayhew and coach Jim Schwartz. Nothing has been confirmed, but sprained ligaments in the toe sound like a turf-toe sort of problem. The Lions visit Green Bay in Week 4. We wouldn't count on Best playing.

A sprained toe really validates your pre-season prediction about Best not being productive this year. You definitely said he's going to be amazing and put of 40+ fantasy points and then injure his toe. You're a genius.For the people are aren't dolts like ROBOPUNTER, there's a silver lining. Of course you'd rather him be healthy but my guess would be that they're going to keep Best sidelined until after their week 7 bye. Toe injuries linger because you can manage the pain enough to play but by playing you also won't get it healed. If he stays off of it, I would guess a month plus would be enough to get him close to 100%. Rookies, sometimes, hit a wall around week 13 because of their usual 12 -14 game schedule in college but Best will have a 5 week break if he's out the time I predicted which should help him avoid slowing down late in the season. Hopefully, you drafted a team that will be able to support his absence. Just remember there are worse injuries and most of all you can't predict them, roll with the punches.

I sold high on a guy who injured his toe the next game, and received in return a guy who injured his groin the next game.



The only people who really come out of this smelling good are those who said, "Sure, you can't get very far trying to predict injuries, but this guy's history is so fragile that I'm steering clear."

That was 2008 and he ended the season with 5 tds in 4 games. He also only took one week off. The injury plagues only if you play on it.

INJURY: Lions RB Jahvid Best, toe

IMPACT: Best told the Detroit News that his Week 3 injury was unrelated to the toe trouble that landed him on the Week 1 injury report, but whether new or old, the bottom line is that the injury knocked Best out of commission on Sunday. "I played one play after [the injury] and it wasn't the same, so I didn't think I could go," Best said. The Lions are essentially Castle Grayskull (i.e., an impenetrable fortress) when it comes to injury-related information, so don't expect much in the way of clarity regarding Best's Week 4 prognosis. Similarly, don't expect much help from backups Maurice Morris and, if active, Kevin Smith – neither would be a very appealing option against Green Bay unless your team is truly decimated by injuries and/or byes next week.

(Update: Shortly after this column was published Sunday night, Lions beat writer Dave Birkett reported that Best believes he has sprained toe ligaments, a.k.a. turf toe, a.k.a. not good news for his chances of suiting up in Week 4.)

If it's Turf toe I am screwed. My other backs are Sjax and Spiller.

 

[MaxPower]

So who would get the bulk of the carries if Best is out any length of time. I could be hurting next week with Charles on bye and Jackson injured.

on man. If it is turf toe, I'd assume and almost hope they DO hold him out till after ther bye week. This really sucks. He had a couple of nice matchups coming up with St Louis and the train wreck that is the NY Giants. I know its nice to think he'll be ready to rock for the playoffs, but thats just something that people say early in the season, right before they don't make the playoffs. Grant going down in week one followed by this has already chopped a ton of points out of my lineup.Back to Best, is this something that might be the dreaded 'game-time-decision' for the the next three weeks? I do not follow Lions at all prior to this year and am not familiar with how close to the vest they are with this crap, though Castle Greyskull doesn't fill me with a lot of hope.

My guess is that it'll be a more definitive "out" than a GTD. They have no reason to rush him back to an 0-3 team IMO. Maybe they lineup a Stafford and Best joint return week 8? That would be my guess.

Perhaps you can parlay into a high ankle sprain.

Is weds the day he will be listed as out or doubtful? Is Keven Smith on Pup? If so he cant play until after there bye week right?

 

[monkeysee]

Liking my Best won't finish in the top 10 RBs guarantee I made after he was anointned the next Barry Sanders by the fan boys last week. You boys listen up next time. No injury excuses either. Durability should be factored when you are gloating over the next great one that you overpaid for.

And a big to whoever keeps closing the Jahvid Best threads.

Best's toe ailment a "new" injury

Updating an earlier item, Jahvid Best's sprained toe is a "totally new" injury for the rookie running back out of Cal, according to the Detroit News. He dealt with a different toe injury before Week 1.

Our View: Considered an injury risk coming out of college, Best isn't sounding likely to be ready for Week 4, as he could not put any weight on his foot following Detroit's loss on Sunday. Look for Maurice Morris to be the Lions' feature back, and for Kevin Smith to be active for the first time in 2010.

A buddy of mine that works for the Lions stating 2-3 weeks before the return.

I expect a warning anyways for my last post, so Ill keep this one clean to avoid a total ban."I warned of durability issues" FIrst off son, what durability issues has Best shown you in his careers? List them here __________.Secondly, making a claim that a RB is going to suffer some sort of injury that puts him out a game or few... brilliant!!!! Who ever wouldve thought a workhorse may miss a game? You are otherworldly with your predictions Nostradamus!!!Gimme a break.

OMG. You were the lone wolf out there who had the foresight to know that a 200-pound back with an injury history might have durability issues? Wow, you nailed it all right. They should make you staff right away since you have this unique ability to see into the future!

In other news, I must be psychic too because I said a few years ago that Andre Johnson might get injured at some point in his career. Can we start a palm-reading service together? Please??

Keep digging. By 4pm you'll be halfway to China.

PM this genius just sent me, and I never in any way talked to him on any of his psychic threads or compared Best to Sanders

I am not going to carry on in a thread and waste space. The fact is I told people he wouldn't finish in the top 10 RBs last week and was laughed at. Just reminding those that bashed me that they lose. and Don't put me on ignore Clifford! What will I do now????!!!!!

Just need to accept the fact that your next Barry Sanders that you overpaid for is a bust and I told you he would be. It is that simple. Don't cry now when I told you sell high last week.

My mistake. Clearly what I should have said is that the crowd WILL give you full prognostication credit for a post made at 2 this morning. It's a notoriously generous crowd.Nobody tried harder to get people to sell Best high than I did, so you might want to put that misplaced rage back in the bag.

 

[MIMN]

A toe injury isn't the best Best news ever but it isn't the worst Best news either. If he is looking at 2 weeks that could easily be stretched out to wait until after the week 7 bye. Tough news for Best if that is the case.

I will not be surprised to see him try to tough it out. He does not want to give someone else a chance to establish a foothold (so to speak).
