This is what i found hoops. In 2009, He cracked the bone in one foot, and then months later developed the EXACT same injury on the other foot.
Had a trio of surgeries to correct it, and then i distinctly remember in training camp last year (after months and months after the surgery), him still having serious issues and not being able to practice and possibly missing games. He did however put up his best year, and a stellar one at that, but the foot problems and stress fractures occurred when his work load was minimal.... how sound of an investment could he be if these are issues he's having when his mileage is just starting.
It seems the verbage i used was a bit excessive, "lingering injuries that can't be fixed by surgeries" because it is possible that more surgeries could fix it. But its also possible he's had previous surgeries and i just cant find them.
But either way, that scares the bejeesus out of me.
Last season, Bradshaw developed a crack in the fifth metatarsal bone of each foot, which posed the risk of fracturing all the way through and ending his season. He had offseason surgery to put a screw in each foot, as well as to remove irritating bone spurs from his right ankle, a total of three surgeries.
