As if things couldn’t get any worse for the New York Giants, they just lost wide receiver Dwayne Harris. Harris was injured during the second half of the Giants vs Los Angeles Chargers game. He is expected to miss the rest of the season. Fellow wide receivers Sterling Shepard, Brandon Marshall, and Odell Beckham Jr. all sustained some sort of foot or ankle injury during the same game. The Giants are currently 0 and 5 and will have to continue the season with a quickly strung together group of wide receivers.

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:
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.
