Reports are starting to surface, none confirmed yet, that Matt Spaeth may need Lisfranc surgery. If this is true, Spaeth will likely be out the majority, if not all of the season. The Lisfranc joint complex is a combination of bones and ligaments, which provide stability to the joint which lies in the middle of the foot. The severity of Lisfranc injuries varies greatly. Santonio Holmes for example suffered a Lisfranc injury last September and is still rehabilitating from it. His was the most severe kind.

The depth at the Tight End position is an area of concern on this team’s roster. If Spaeth does require surgery, this could be troubling news.
