That is not the cause of the deformity. It's not really an "injury" at all. It's a natural thing Berry's body did. Him not wearing certain kinds of shoes, like cleats, should help with the pain as would surgical removal of the spur. This has absolutely nothing to do with anything football other than playing football can make it more irritating.

well, I hope you're right and that's how it goes down. We need to move on at any rate; it's unlikely Berry plays meaningful football again, as I've been saying since like week 4.
