I just googled intrinsic muscle strain. I am now an expert in podiatry.

That’s awesome. Because I googled physics and im
Now filling out my application to CERN.

Can I get your reference? Lol

He needs his feet. Let him sit all the way until the first game if need be.

Again I’m not a doctor. So I don’t know. In that interview Amari is asked “so you’ve had it before” which he says yes. And then asked “but it’s in a different spot” and he shakes his head yes.

So maybe because it’s in a different spot it’s technically not plantar fasciitis? Or it’s in another part of the same muscle?

I’m not sure. Hopefully we have a doctor in the house who can enlighten us.

@Doc50 ?

In this case, intrinsic is a general term, not a specific one.

The reference is to the muscles that insert on the plantar aspect of the calcaneus, rather than the fascia. This includes the abductor hallucis, flexor accessorius, flexor digiti minimi brevis, and abductor digiti minimi, intrinsic to the function of the heel and foot.

So, it's a chronic strain of muscles rather than fascia.

Thank you Doc!

on 105.3 the fan. Mickey Spags just reported that Amari Cooper does not have plantar fasciitis.

He has a strain of a different muscle in his heel. Called intrinsic muscle strain.

Which supposedly is not as bad/ doesn’t last as long as plantar fasciitis.

Take it for what you will..... but it sounded positive.

Edit- I know nothing about foot muscles. I am just paraphrasing what was talked about on the radio segment.

Oddly, Cooper isn't a guy I am concerned about playing the first week.

.......he has contract fasciitis. His brain muscle is strained, hearing who's getting what and how much.

so it's a strain, I want to know if they're all intact or is there a partial tear in his foot.
