I have one (probably irrational) hope about the Tatum injury. Common reaction to an Achilles tear is the person thinks they were kicked from behind. Usually, they don’t show pain and they can walk. That happened to my best friend. This was different. Hoping that means it’s something less severe.
I had similar thoughts about him not trying to walk on it. I'm hoping it's a calf strain
Everyone seems to have concluded that it’s an Achilles, and that may be the case. But his reaction wasn’t the same as every other one I’ve ever seen. I imagine something less damaging than an Achilles tear, even if more painful at first, would be a preferable outcome for him.
