On Friday, it will be a year.
June 12, 2014, was the day Jon Beason was running across a grass field at a Giants' OTA workout and felt a pinch in the bottom of his foot. He had to be carted away from practice, tried to rehab the injury without surgery (which included a lengthy immobilization and missing all of training camp), and played only four regular-season games before he was forced to have the corrective procedure.
The injury weakened the Giants' defense, undermined his role as a leader, and was one of the medical issues that contributed to a miserable season.
