Hunter Wohler Continues Rehab on Right Foot Injury Suffered in Preseason

Hunter Wohler is currently in rehab for a right foot injury originally sustained during the preseason, and the specific tissue type and structural severity remain unconfirmed from public reporting. Foot injuries in NFL defenders cover a meaningful clinical spectrum — from turf toe affecting the first MTP joint, to midfoot sprains that can signal Lisfranc involvement, to metatarsal stress fractures — and each carries a materially different recovery timeline. Until the injury type is clarified, the grade is INFERRED as moderate at minimum, based on the fact that Wohler is still in active rehab roughly five months post-preseason rather than having returned to full practice.

The tissue type is the key unknown here. A soft-tissue foot injury (ligamentous or myotendinous) at Grade 1–2 typically resolves within 2–8 weeks, and Wohler's extended timeline suggests either a more significant grade, a structural injury such as a metatarsal fracture or Lisfranc complex disruption, or a recovery that has encountered setbacks. Ongoing rehab in late April following a preseason injury is worth watching — it does not automatically signal a serious problem, but it narrows the window before Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. If Wohler is not practicing in a limited capacity by late June or early July, that would be a meaningful signal that this injury is tracking toward the more conservative end of any plausible biological range. The next meaningful update will come from training camp participation reports.
