Lifting, walking, standing, etc. are all controlled movements, nothing like a physical athlete facing a similar one in a battle of wills. Again, another Apples to Oranges comparison..
Plantar fasciitis is a partial tear of a tendon running around the bottom of the foot. You get orthopedic insoles, do a couple of weeks of PT, and roll a frozen bottle of water along the bottom of your foot, and you're fine. It isn't like the guy is coming back from a torn Achilles or something. If he fully tore his plantar fascia, that would be different, but they sat him out of practice so his condition would heal and he wouldn't tear it completely. Given the way they have treated injuries and the fact that there is a chance of a more severe injury if he continued, we can reasonably assume that he was given ample time for it to fully heal before he allowed to practice.
