Garcon won’t need surgery after taking time to rest foot

Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon wasn’t sure if he needed foot surgery, but apparently won’t need it after all.

John Keim of the Washington Examiner reports that all Garcon needs at this point is more rest, after a toe problem limited his effectiveness early in the season.

Barring a setback, he’s expected to be back to 100 percent this offseason, now that he’s had a chance to rest.

Garcon was effective when he was on the field, and having healthy receiving threats will be more important than ever for the Redskins, if self-preservation kicks in for quarterback Robert Griffin III.
