Have we heard any more about Garcon's injury? They mentioned that it had "lis franc" like symptoms. I will tell you that would be bad, very bad.

I had surgery on that in February, 2011 and it is essentially a torn ligament between the metatarsil bones in your foot. Feels a lot like a bruise until it swells and feels like a sprain. It can also be hard to detect unless you look at the bone structure of both feet. If it's caught early and operated on before the ligament begins to heal in the torn position, it can be fixed but it's not a guarranteed. I waited over six months (tore it in June, 2010) and, a year and half out, my foot is still not the same.

I imagine they have really good Docs who would know what to look for but I haven't heard anything definitive.
