#49ers George Kittle's CT scan showed foot fracture is to the cuboid bone and not a Jones fracture, GM John Lynch told Greg Papa (on @KNBR) and recovery timeline TBA but still sounds like season over.

Long read, but if you want to learn about cuboid bones and fractures
What I get out of it, is its very rare to happen so of course it would happen to Kittle...smdh

Seems for the average person this is more of an annoyance and may cause more of a drunk balance issue than anything. Or like you said a misalignment ina vehicle. But to Kittle who is an athlete who plants his feet violently, this is more of a problem.Originally posted by dj43:Originally posted by 9ers4u:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6379735/

In an earlier life, I had some exposure to the function of this bone. It is not weight-bearing, so that is good, however, it serves an important function in maintaining proper alignment of the lateral (outside) portion of the foot. It is an odd-shaped bone, and necessarily so, in order to do its job. A small fracture may result in misalignment that results in performance issues. Think of it as having the front wheels of your car misaligned - the car will not drive straight.

I think they said up to eight weeks for this particular break
