For New York Jets receiver Santonio Holmes, the road to recovery has not been easy. Last season, Holmes was having a strong start to the year before suffering a devastating Lisfranc fracture in his left foot, an injury that required two surgeries and has rendered him physically unable to participate in practice. “A Lisfranc injury [...]
New Orleans Saints linebacker Victor Butler reportedly will undergo surgery on June 18, 2013 to repair a torn ACL he suffered earlier this week.

Arian Foster made it through half-an-hour of reps at the Houston Texans OTAs on Wednesday. He was helped off the field limping, avoiding any pressure on his right foot.
