Lamar Holmes of the Atlanta Falcons will be out indefinitely due to a broken foot. The offensive tackle sustained the injury on the first day of minicamp, making him the second offensive tackle to be off on an injury next to starter Jake Matthews. “Don’t know any information in regard to training camp and him coming back. Disappointed for him. He’s had a terrific offseason. Hopefully a speedy recovery,” stated coach Dan Quinn. In the meantime the Falcons will most likely sign on a waiver if Holmes cannot recover on time.

Broken Foot Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
A broken foot is caused by one of the bones in the foot typically breaking when bended, crushed, or stretched beyond its natural capabilities. Usually the location of the fracture indicates how the break occurred, whether it was through an object, fall, or any other type of injury.
Common Symptoms of Broken Feet:
- Bruising
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
- Blue (foot)
- Numbness
- Cold
- Misshapen
- Cuts
- Deformities
Those that suspect they have a broken foot shoot seek urgent medical attention where a medical professional could diagnose the severity.
Treatment for broken bones varies depending on the cause, severity and location. Some will require the use of splints, casts or crutches while others could even involve surgery to repair the broken bones. Personal care includes the use of ice and keeping the foot stabilized and elevated.
