Many years ago in a softball game I had a big guy slide into my ankle on a tag at home plate during a softball because I was stupid and on the baseline.  Didn't break anything, but it was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life.  I was wearing cleats and it did a number on the arch tissue on the bottom of my left foot because my foot couldn't slide out of the way from the impact.

I was on crutches for two months and had to ease back into jogging and that was nowhere near the load a football player might put (or have put) on their foot in a game.  There's no need to risk losing Doty for most of the season if he's not absolutely past his injury.
