WILMINGTON, Del.—Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden fractured his right foot while playing with one of his dogs, an injury discovered in a scan on Nov. 29 and that will likely require him to wear a boot for several weeks, his doctor said.

Biden suffered the injury on Nov. 28 and visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, on Sunday afternoon, his office said. The campaign initially said the ankle was twisted.
