Surely a sore toe doesn't keep Saab out longer than a week. It's first grade footy ! Just cut off the thing to be able to play !
Then you will lambast him for a below par performance when coming back too early (or should I say toe early)

Ive had "turf toe" the recovery depends on severity - mine took a few weeks. I would suggest that someone with the explosive nature (just a little better than mine 😉 ) as Saab could fairly take 2 or 3 weeks. We allow 6-8 for "Syndesmosis" but forget that if you have no ability to push off (toes play an important part there) while running (especially on the wing) you are a shot duck.

Foot and ankle injuries suck - you can break an ankle and be up again in 2 or so months but an achilles tendon rupture is more like 6 months (I know Ive been there for both) The point..... Injuries suck and take time, its no reflection on the support around you for recovery not you either, and tendons are bitches in comparison to bones so often.

He could easily play this week and give up 3 or 4 tries not being able to respond explosively in defence, but could stand and jog - you can move around with turf toe, but you are like an older version of you, lets wait for the young version we know we have.
