I had similar experience. I played D1 college soccer many moons ago ('86-'87). After my eligibility was done (summer of '88) I got invited to work out with an MISL development team (Indoor soccer). It was my first time playing exclusively on turf. I got a really bad turf toe trying to make a full speed cut.

Not only was I done for that season, I was limited in my training for the next 18 months or so. As you noted, even after the pain is gone, I still felt "pressure" from my big toe joint for several years afterwards.

But if you had to suit up and play today, could you go?

That’s the real question.

Yo the coach basically said I need you, at least he’s a jag without you fam. **** bruh I hope your foot feels better bruh.

I was mid AF. That was my junior year and i was like a 5'7 corner/WR just diving at dudes ankles. I was worthless until i grew that summer lol

Let me be clear- I’m not a doctor

While basking in the joy of destroying Pitt postgame Keonte was jogging across the bleachers high fiving fans. No boot no limp smooth quick jog.

I think he’s back.

Tell me you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night, and we're good to go.

He didn’t say that! Smh stop making crap up.

I don’t think you know what you’re saying.

 

[NicKane]

I don’t think you know what you’re saying.

AR said it all depends on how you feel. It’s an injury that depends on how you feel. He didn’t say that he thought no way he’s back this weekend. Those words never exited his mouth.

 

[CanefaninBuckeyeland]

Turf toe is such a tough injury to have and it's almost impossible to give a timetable on return. I think this is what AR was referring to.

I was an athletic trainer in college there's little that can be done to speed up the recovery. I'm not sure if this was mentioned already, but I believe Sterling Sharpe retired due to it.

We can’t have nice things. Mateer had thumb surgery on his throwing hand and was back in less than 2 weeks

And Mateer has been cheeks

 

[Cane&Abel]

I knew this chick once who had Camel Toe…. Never missed any playing time!

 

[rsa coral gables]

long term rest and healing is the solution, not one or two months generally

 

[AZHurricane]

Chris Bell ran a drag route, no cornerback can stop him. He was running underneath the defense. What happened when he lined up outside, 3 target, 3, pass breakup by OJ.

And Toure whiffed.

 

[Headhunter]

The only one that really got him was Bell at Louisville.

OJ is susceptible to the deep ball. He just doesn’t have long speed like that. Nimrod at USF got him (maybe even twice?). Think a guy at Bethune got him on one too.

Not a good idea against Craver and KC to expect or even ask him to do anything on an island. Their WR3 is fast as well.

I’m sitting in zone, eyes on the QB, and letting Reed throw it to me if I’m a DC. Because he will do it. Also helps you cover his running game.

exactly why i mentioned it

 

[caneingville]

AR said it all depends on how you feel. It’s an injury that depends on how you feel. He didn’t say that he thought no way he’s back this weekend. Those words never exited his mouth.

And that’s not what I said he said either. So before you accuse me of lying, you may want to brush up on your reading comprehension skills.

This is exactly what I heard AR say. He said “it’s a feel thing”, you just have to get out there and see how it feels.

According to ChatGPT

Turf toe healing time depends on the severity (Grade 1–3) of the injury. Below are the typical timelines for college-level football players, based on sports-medicine standards.
(This is general information, not medical advice.)

---

Grade 1 – Mild sprain​

• Healing time: 1–2 weeks
• Ligaments are stretched, not torn.
• Player often returns with taping, stiff-soled cleats, or a carbon-fiber insert.

---

Grade 2 – Moderate sprain (partial tear)​

• Healing time: 3–6 weeks
• More swelling, limited push-off strength, more painful.
• Common for players to miss multiple games.

---

Grade 3 – Severe sprain (complete tear)​

• Healing time:
  • 2–3 months for full recovery, sometimes longer
  • Surgery is sometimes required
• Player cannot push off, significant swelling/bruising, instability of the big toe.

---

Position matters​

• Skill positions (WR, RB, DB, QB, KR) usually need longer since they rely heavily on explosive push-off.
• Linemen may return slightly sooner, depending on pain tolerance and stability.

---

Factors that affect return time​

• Access to high-level rehab (PT, trainers)
• Whether they use turf toe plate inserts
• Quality of rest vs. playing through injury
• Whether the field is turf or grass (turf often irritates more)

---

Typical college football scenario​

Most college players with turf toe return in 2–6 weeks, unless it’s Grade 3 — then it’s a long-term situation (8+ weeks or season-ending).

This is the injury that essentially retired OJ McDuffie from football.

He’ll have to decide whether to try mask the pain with injections and finish the run or not. Im hoping it naturally repairs as much as possible by osu
