Well, I sure don't know but count on the media finding out.
I would think the old broken bone should have healed by now with the plate on it. Usually the problem with such is that the plate causes the pain by its position. If he broke it again, or broke another one, not sure it matters. I see where you're coming from I think, but I would have thought Lynn would have just said the probably wiser "He still has pain from his previous surgery." instead of referring to the old break which shouldn't be broken anymore.
Who knows. It will come out. No matter, I still have more issues with training/medical/coaching staffs than I do with Watkins if his foot is still messed up, though it annoys me he might be harming himself and the team if he can't play to a certain level.
