Rotowold: Expect him to practice on Friday and play through the pain at Green Bay on Sunday.

Jahvid Best-RB-Lions Sep. 30 - 5:14 pm et

Jahvid Best (turf toe) now says that he will "definitely" play against the Packers on Sunday.

Lions rookie running back Jahvid Best said Thursday his injured right big toe is feeling much better and he's confident that he'll play Sunday in Green Bay.

"Oh yeah, definitely," Best said when asked if he'll play Sunday. "It's been getting better so far and it's looking like I'll be able to go this week."

Best said he'll practice Friday to test it out and it'll really just come down to how much pain he can deal with Sunday.

"The toe is doing good; I have to take it day-by-day," Best said. "So far I'm going to give it a go tomorrow and see how it feels. But it's gotten a lot better than I thought it was going to get. It's looking real good right now."

That's good for the Lions, who struggled to move the ball on the ground when Best left in the second half last week.

"I feel like I haven't put my best effort yet," Best said. "I still feel like I have a lot more to put out there. I'm still not satisfied."

great quote from the article"ESPN's Gregg Easterbrook goes so far as to say that Eli is now better than Peyton: "At the current rate, his career achievements will at least match, and perhaps surpass, his big brother's.""

Peyton may be the best that ever played the game. Just focus on the numbers of LT that year....

Says 1 day to 2 weeks recovery from grade 2 turf toe.

Yes, if you want to walk normally, this is the recovery time. Not if you want to play NFL football at the running back position. From your article: “All too frequently, return to athletics is rushed, the injury is not completely healed, and the athlete suffers with a chronic condition as a result,” says Dr. Ramin Modabber, MD, Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group.

I have decided this will be my last warning post on Best. The Lions are 0-3. They have been one of the worst franchises in NFL history the last three years. Jahvid Best will lose his burst with this injury. If he does not heal it properly, it will stay with him the whole year or even get worse. I see the Lions regressing and Best getting hammered without his speed.

BBB. Best Buyer Beware.

 
So frustrating. I've had turf toe and it sucked. It actually still randomly hurts in that joint and ligiment area at times and the injury was 10 years ago. I'm not an NFL athlete though. He likely rests it this week completely or gives it a shot but comes out of the game. I wish I thought differently as 4 of my 5 RBs didnt finish their games last week and 3 of those guys dont look good for this one.

:football:

But the bolded made me laugh. to what, worse than 0-3?

I know what you mean though; they'd lose their 2 best offensive weapons (first Stafford, then Best).

How to Avoid This Injury■You may not be able to completely protect yourself against turf toe, but the goal is not to jam the big toe into a hard surface.

■Wear shoes that fit properly and have soles rigid enough to protect the joint at the base of the big toe.

■When possible, avoid playing or practicing on poorly maintained playing fields.

 
I'll be very surprised if Best plays this week. This is an injury that can ruin his season if it is not properly rested. McFadden had this and it plagued him for a long time. Given Schwartz's tight lipped media approach I'm betting that this is only a strategy to make GB game plan for Best. If they play him then Detroit is as bad a franchise as they have been in the past. Good organizations protect their assets.

 
LT had turf toe in 2008 - his first "down" year. People still point to his stats that year as being pretty good (padded by 3 TDs in useless Week 17), but he was frustrating to own during the regular season. He had a couple of nice games but also several 45/0 type rushing stats. I don't know what "grade" his injury was.

We won't really know what to expect until Best shows what he can/can't do in a game and how much the pain affects him.

Tomlinson was 29 years old and had a reputation, whether justified or not, for allowing injuries to hamper him a little more than they should.Jahvid Best is 21 and has yet to create his reputation. There's every reason to be optimistic about his recovery, as compared to Tomlinson.
 
Rotoworld: Jahvid Best-RB-Lions Oct. 1 - 11:35 am et

Jahvid Best (turf toe) returned to practice Friday, as expected.

Best will likely be limited, but all signs are now pointing toward the rookie starting at Green Bay on Sunday. Best will be a high-risk fantasy play from a matchup point of view as well as a chance of re-injury during the game. We can't see benching him with the bye weeks kicking in unless you have a premium alternative on your bench.

At this point do you start him regardless of this issue? It seems like he is going to be a go, but I am worried that he'll run hard for a series and pull himself due to tweaking something. Bah

there is a chance that could happen, but I am playing him. he can make plays against GB. Chicago was able to move the ball nicely over the middle on moday.

He was suspended or booted.Best is obviously a high risk/high reward play this week. My brain says he's a stupid play while my heart is scared he breaks two 80 yard tds on my bench.

I think you need to update your sig because from what I see you're choosing between Best and Harrison, if I had to choose between nobody and Harrison I'd probably prefer the former.
 
You gotta roll with your Studs. Best is playing even if he is injuried I will play him. I can't take the chance on missing out on big points.

My only option is staring Knox over Best which isn't a bad play but Best has the potential to win the week for me all by himself - Knox is just the safe play.

Turf toe is NOT a one size fits all. It's funny to me people assume Best injury is the same severity as Ladainian was. We have no idea the severity in comparison. I would imagine he would have been limited in practice at the very least as I remember Ladainian being limited or not practicing during his year of injury.

I guess you're talking to me because you're replying to me. I do not assume that the injury is the same severity as the Tomlinson one was. However, in the absence of information about Tomlinson's injury (and there wasn't really any at the time, much less now) there is "every reason to be optimistic about [best's] recovery, as compared to Tomlinson." It may have been worse, may have been better. But there's no reason to think that Best will be frustrating from this point out, given that he's 21 years old and not known for bailing out of games that others believe he should be gutting out.

Its either Best for me or marshawn lynch against the Jets. I'll roll with Best if he's playing. With 15 man rosters and add/drops every 2 weeks your options are limited....

I said I didn't know what "grade" LT's injury was. I also said we can't be sure how Best handles it until we see him on the field. I'm all question marks right now, not answers.

I was siding with you in response to littlephatty
 
JasonLaCanfora

Lions RB Jahvid Best intends to practice today and play on Sunday, I'm told. Toe feeling better after resting it a few days less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

 
Waiting for end of practice results.

For me that practice must consist of: Full speed & cuts, not limited (which I would prefer for him to get rest)

Great to see he's a tough kid.

 
I have too tough of a matchup this week to risk him having a setback in the 1st half. I hope you guys enjoy your 20+ point weekend from Best because I am going to bench him for Floyd and without a doubt he will have a big game while he sits on my bench. :penalty:

hah, noted and updated. Either way, unless he tears it up in practice with no soreness I can't bring myself to do it. At the same time I am very worried about leaving 20+ points on my bench due to over thinking it. Ahh well, he'll most likely be started and benched by me at least 137 times in the next day and half.

Even if he does start, I'm wondering how easy they will go on him and am wondering if Maurice Morris would be the better play (assuming you have both).

If he does start, I think it kills the value of both Best and Morris because I agree with you. They will in all liklihood play Morris more than normal. And its not a great matchup to begin with.
