But it sounds like it based on how it was described (like Turf Toe on the top of the foot)
But, after watching Ray Lewis: Football Life, and learning he played 2 years on turf toe that locked his toe up, I say take some cortisone and get back on the field Pierre.

But...that's the difference between Super Bowl caliber teams and desperate teams who have now traded away their future for one player......we'll see how long HE lasts..........
The SB team loses twice to the "desperate" team?the poster wrote:But...that's the difference between Super Bowl caliber teams and desperate teams who have now traded away their future for one player......we'll see how long HE lasts..........

From what I have read, this injury is about pain management; there isn't a concern that he will make it worse by playing.
I haven't walked a mile in an NFL player's shoes, but I have seen players who play through a lot of pain. Your team needs you. Something about this just doesn't add up.

Plus one more...
I've heard fans say it's only "turf toe" but on the top of his foot, and that he should man up and deal with it, THEN I heard Royster got injured with "turf toe", no one told him to man up... know one even knew he was hurt and wonder why Grant was signed, Pierre G is taking his time coming back Evan R. is taking the rest of the year off, granted Royster was already dinged up but it was "turf toe" that sent him to IR.
But Rich Campbell of the Washington Times reports that Garcon will try to play, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Garcon is more likely to play than not.
If Garcon does play, he likely wouldn’t be on the field for every offensive snap, as the Redskins want to take it easy on his injured foot.
(highlight and emphasis is mine)1. Wide receiver Pierre Garcon remains troubled by an injured toe on his right foot (it’s a problem under the second toe) and coach Mike Shanahan is uncertain when he’ll return. Garcon was inactive Sunday for the third time this season because of the injury, suffered in the season opener. He underwent an MRI, which showed how inflamed the toe is.
“We just have to give him time,” Shanahan said. “He’s fine, if he has some juice before the game, but afterwards it’s very, very painful…. When I saw he couldn’t go in practice at the speed I want him to go at I said I think you’re pushing through more pain than you tend to tell the coaches.”
2. Shanahan re-iterated that it’s not turf toe, otherwise they would have “shut him down” for a while. He said Garcon wanted to play Sunday.
“I said I don’t want to lose you for the rest of the season, let’s get this thing well and tell me when it’s ready to go,” Shanahan said.
