Carey Talks About Injury

Deep Creek (Chesapeake, VA) running back Antwain Carey was expecting a summer of camps, unofficial visits, and training for his senior season. Unfortunately, the summer season started with the news that he had a fractured foot. The injury was suffered during his sophomore season, however was only recently discovered.

A cast and much needed rest are the only remedies for his injury, but he hopes to make it back to the field by the start of his senior campaign.

“I had pain in my foot ever since an injury during my sophomore year,” said Carey. “I just recently got it checked out, and the doctors told me I had a fracture. They don’t really know how soon I can return. They will have to see how I feel once the cast comes off. It comes off on the 24th [of July]. Hopefully I’ll be able to return as soon as possible.”

According to Carey, doctors say his foot will be stronger than it was before the injury, once it fully heals. That will enable Carey to continue speeding away from defenders with his 4.4 speed and bowling over them with his 6-0, 205 pound frame during his senior season.
