WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden sprained a foot while playing with one of his dogs, but doctors found “no obvious fracture” while examining him Sunday.

That's according to Biden's doctor. The president-elect's office says he suffered the injury on Saturday and visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, for an examination Sunday afternoon.

Biden's doctor, Kevin O’Connor, says Biden sustained a sprain of his right foot and that while initial X-rays are reassuring that there is no obvious fracture, Biden will be receiving a CT scan for further review.
