Trevor Penning sheds medical walking boot after Lisfranc surgery

Saints left tackle Trevor Penning shed his bulky medical walking boot after Lisfranc surgery to volunteer with his teammates at Second Harvest Food Bank:

Now this is good to see: not just Trevor Penning representing the New Orleans Saints well at a community outreach event, but doing so without a bulky medical boot slowing him down.

The big left tackle went down with a Lisfranc fracture in the Saints’ regular season finale, a crushing setback for a young player who had already missed the beginning of his rookie year with a serious turf toe injury to his other foot. It was a tough way to end his first career start in the NFL, but it’s encouraging to see Penning recovering like this.

The second-year pro joined his teammates Erik McCoy and D’Marco Jackson at Second Harvest Food Bank to pack supplies and share time with the staff and other volunteers. There’s a lot of pressure on Penning to get his body right and play meaningful snaps this year as the team’s other first-round pick in 2022 (along with wide receiver Chris Olave), but donating his time like this and getting to know his new city is important too.
