They're saying it's basically an injury settlement

Never heard of an OL in his 20s having career ending turf toe

He'll be able to play again when the infection goes away.  Being outside of the locker room and away from contact for a while will be a good thing for him anyway.

I think we should just preemptively be mad at Idzik for not signing him when he comes back, you know, just to get that out of the way.
