The Facts:
Rivers said yesterday he will not require surgery on his injured right foot and expects to be ready to fully participate in off-season workouts that begin March 19. The Chargers quarterback, who is in a hard cast, hurt his foot in the regular-season finale and aggravated the injury in the Chargers' 24-21 playoff loss Jan. 14.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rivers' specific injury was a sprain to the Lis Franc joint in the middle of the foot. This injury, succinctly put, is when the front of the foot is separated from the bones in the middle of the foot. Hearing last week he could forgo surgery was welcome news, because surgery likely would have at least doubled the recovery time.
