Pierre Garcon (foot) isn't sure if he'll be 100 percent healthy for 2013.
"I’ll be healthy enough to play," Garcon said Thursday on NFL Network. "I can’t say I’ll be 100 percent, but I’ll be back out there helping the team in any way possible." Garcon isn't sure if he'll go full steam during OTAs. Garcon played through the injury in 2012, but it's a concern he's already resigned to the possibility of playing at less than 100 percent for the second consecutive season. Garcon could eventually require surgery, but has thus far avoided it because there's no guarantee it will correct the issue. Apr 12 - 11:53 AM

Pierre Garcon - WR - Redskins

A league source tells the Washington Examiner that Pierre Garcon will not need foot surgery this offseason.

Garcon had pain in his right foot last preseason and then tore ligaments during Week 1. He ended up playing in just 10 games and was severely limited in four. However, undergoing surgery to repair his plantar plate wouldn't have guaranteed a full recovery, and specialists now believe that barring a setback, rest will do the trick. The Examiner's source says Garcon -- who hasn't been running since the Redskins' season ended on Jan. 6 -- should be 100 percent by the start of 2013. We'll still have a yellow flag next to his name as foot injuries at the wideout position can linger.

CSN Washington considers Pierre Garcon, LT Trent Williams, and NT Barry Cofield candidates to restructure their contracts.

Garcon and Williams are unusual restructure candidates in that they're still young, productive and relatively cheap, but the Skins need to get creative to get under the 2013 cap. That's thanks to their $18 million penalty for circumventing the cap in the 2010 uncapped year. CSN Washington projects the Redskins are currently $4 million over the salary cap despite having relatively few bad contracts.

Pierre Garcon (foot) is "leaning" toward rest over surgery.

The report comes via a "person with knowledge of (Garcon's) health." Garcon will reportedly make a final decision in the "coming weeks." Surgery would sideline Garcon for 3-4 months, and reportedly "offer no guarantee of fixing the issue." Garcon tore ligaments in his right foot in Week 1, and was limited to 10 games his first season in Washington. Even if Garcon decides against surgery now, there's no guarantee he won't have to go under the knife somewhere down the road. It's a situation to monitor in Dynasty leagues.

Pierre Garcon is still "weighing" whether he should undergo toe surgery.

Garcon missed six games with torn ligaments in his right foot, and was operating at well less than 100 percent after he returned in Week 11. Surgery would probably be the best option, both in the short and long term. The alternative option -- rest and rehab -- would seem to bring with it a bit more risk.

Pierre Garcon is hopeful he'll avoid toe surgery this offseason.

At one point during the middle of the year, it looked like Garcon would undergo season-ending surgery. But after the Week 10 bye, he returned at less than 100 percent and was impressively productive. Over the final seven games, he "learned to play with pain" and posted 36 catches for 480 yards and three touchdowns while hogging targets. "That's the LAST thing," Garcon said of going under the knife. "Hopefully surgery is not an option, but if I get enough doctors to say I need surgery, then surgery it is. But, if I can limp around for seven more years, I'll probably limp around for seven more years and be all right."

Pierre Garcon said his shoulder is "fine" after missing a few snaps in Sunday's season-ending playoff loss.

Garcon's next step is figuring out how to fix the foot sprain that nagged him all season. He doesn't believe the injury will require surgery, but allows that doctors may decide differently.

Pierre Garcon led the Redskins with 50 yards on four receptions in Sunday's Wild Card round loss to the Seahawks.

Already playing through a foot injury, Garcon added ankle and shoulder ailments to the list on Sunday. He and physical CB Brandon Browner went at it several times, and it appeared to get in Garcon's head at one point. While playing injured, Garcon finished second among all receivers in yards per route run. The Redskins offense plays at a different level when Garcon is healthy. He could use a more reliable second fiddle next season.

Pierre Garcon was forced from Sunday's Wild Card round game versus the Seahawks with a shoulder injury.

He also missed a snap earlier in the game with an ankle injury. Garcon has spent much of the afternoon pushing and shoving with Brandon Browner in a physical matchup. He returned to the game on the next offensive series.

Pierre Garcon caught three passes for 46 yards in Washington's division-clinching, Week 17 win over the Cowboys.

It was Garcon's quietest night since his first game back from his foot injury, but it was largely a result of the Redskins dialing up only 18 passes. Washington's No. 1 receiver had previously cleared 60 yards receiving in five straight games, and 80 in four of five. Although Garcon finishes the regular season with just 44 catches for 633 yards and four touchdowns thanks to his lingering foot injury, he proved to be worth every penny of his $42.5 million deal, as the Redskins went 9-1 with him in the lineup. That's opposed to 1-5 without him. Reasonably durable during his four years in Indy, Garcon will be a high-end WR2 entering 2013.

Pierre Garcon caught seven passes for 89 yards in the Redskins' Week 16 win over the Eagles.

Garcon continues to be the first, second and third read in the Redskins' passing game. Getting open with ease against the Eagles' atrocious secondary, he hauled in seven of nine targets via a smattering of deep crosses and corner routes. Garcon has racked up 41 targets in the last four weeks and will be a focal point once again against the Cowboys in Week 17.

Pierre Garcon caught six passes for 65 yards in the Redskins' Week 15 win over the Browns.

Garcon had a couple things working his way. He was not shadowed by Joe Haden, and Kirk Cousins performed far better than anyone could have imagined. It resulted in a healthy 12 targets and a few near misses on big plays. No matter who is under center against the Eagles in Week 16, Garcon will be a WR2 option. He now has 32 targets in the last three weeks.

Pierre Garcon - WR - Redskins

Pierre Garcon led the Redskins with 87 yards and a touchdown on five receptions and nine targets versus the Ravens in Week 14.

Garcon was the only Redskins player targeted more than five times. His box score would have been even better had RGIII not missed him wide open on one play. He sent the game to overtime with an 11-yard touchdown from backup QB Kirk Cousins with just 30 seconds remaining. Looking strong after the catch, Garcon has topped 85 yards with a touchdown in three consecutive games. He'll see plenty of Joe Haden in Cleveland next week.

Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan noticed a difference in Pierre Garcon's (foot) running on the field before last week's game versus the Giants.

"When he's more confident, he comes off the ball, he uses his speed," said Shanahan. "He's more confident to break down at full speed." A semi-healthy Garcon is the only receiver on the roster capable of consistently separating from defensive backs and making big plays after the catch. The Redskins are 5-1 with Garcon in the lineup compared to 1-5 when he sits out.

Pierre Garcon - WR - Redskins

Pierre Garcon (foot) is practicing in full this week.

It's particularly encouraging the since the Redskins are still less than 48 hours removed from Monday night's win. Garcon has notched 13 catches for 199 yards and two touchdowns over his past two games, and is shaping up as a high-upside WR2/3 for the fantasy playoffs.
