After that injury his YPC went down to 3.4 after having a career average of about 4.8 and only lasted 2 seasons after the injury. Not a good outlook for Grant sadly.
Agreed. For a speed guy it's scary.
Good thing for him the injury occurred during the modern era of medicine. 100 years ago he would have either lost his foot or died from that injury. Lisfranc is no joke.
We really lucked out with injuries last year. This year not so much
Per Ian Rapport:
#Jaguars RB Corey Grant suffered a season-ending lisfranc injury in today’s game, sources say. He’s headed to IR. A big hit to their backfield, but for him, he’ll be 100% by free agency. If he ends up needing surgery, respected specialist Dr Robert Anderson will perform it.
Big blow

With the way the running back position is valued these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if today’s game was his last in the NFL.

Belle wants a new contract at $20 a year. We couldn't afford him.
We can't afford $20/year? We are poor as heck then!
Ouch. I really liked Grant, he was very dynamic and I always felt like we under utilized him. There are some FA RBs out there who could hold us over to the bye and be a rotational guy when LF comes back(If he comes back) this season.
Our injury misfortune has been pretty awful this year, the football Gods are showing us no mercy.
We need a new change of pace back. Grant is likely hitting Free Agency at the end of the year anyways.
Oh well, Leonard Fournette sucks. That draft pick was so bad it isn’t even funny.
