Here's the official word from U of L per ITV:
Junior wide receiver Scott Long of the University of Louisville football team injured his foot in practice on Monday during a non-contact drill.
His condition will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Definitely a far cry from the broken leg rumor which was initially floating around, but given the way injury situations were handled a season ago, this day-to-day business still worries me.
While losing Long probably wouldn't be the worst piece of news that could occur between now and Aug. 31 (watch those steps, Eric Wood), it'd be pretty damn close.
If you need me, I'll be pacing for the next two weeks.
UPDATE: Long broke the fifth metatarsal bone (shaft of the small toe) in his foot, and will have surgery at some point over the next couple of days.This is a very common fracture in the sports world, and recovery time after surgery is generally 6-8 weeks, although there have been cases of athletes healing faster.
Regardless, I think assuming Long will be out for at least a month is a safe postulation.
