Maybe his season. At his age, perhaps his career.
A plantar tear usually does not need surgery to correct and will recover with rest. Having had the condition in both my feet in the past, I know how painful it is.
AND how absolutely long it takes to heal....with rest.
I’ve had it too. Only foot thing more painful is gout.
I had plantar fasciitis but did not have a tear. Mine was a bone spur that caused havoc with the tendon. Very painful. Tendons take a long time to heal themselves, I know because I have had carpal tunnel surgery.
I have had plantar fascia surgery on both feet. It’s horrible to not be able to walk from pain.
