A number of professional and college football players have had Lisfranc injuries; in some cases the injury has been career-ending. Here's a partial list:

2006:
Lions running back Kevin Jones
Giants defensive end Michael Strahan
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck
Packers wide receiver Robert Ferguson
Bears safety Mike Brown
Seahawks safety Mike Green
U. Washington quarterback Isaiah Stanback

2005:
Eagles tight end Chad Lewis (article mentions an "extensive rehabilitation process that lasted nearly 10 months" and notes that he was awarded a 'Courage' award by his teammates in connection with his recovery. Also, article here mentions Lewis and several others below.)
Eagles running back Brian Westbrook
Lions linebacker Teddy Lehman (and here ["That injury, I think 50% of the people that get it don't play anymore...."])
U. Wisconsin guard Randy Gyllin
U. Nevada defensive end J.J. Milan ("Despite dealing with writhing pain in his foot and shin, Milan returned to the field [in 2006]. Nine months of rehabilitation and pain that often drove him to tears couldn't keep him away.")

2004:
Vikings tackle Mike Rosenthal [interesting rehab case study here]
Patriots cornerback Ty Law
Browns defensive end Courtney Brown
Cowboys tight end Dan Campbell ("Campbell still feels pain in his foot every morning. He has to limp around for a while, but once he's warmed up, he's fine. He no longer feels it on the field. ")

2003:
Eagles safety Brian Dawkins
Giants cornerback Will Allen
Rams cornerback James Whitley
LSU quarterback Matt Mauck ("The rehab process was slow, arduous and painful. Self-doubt about his future crept in as Mauck did every rehab drill imaginable....")

Eagles running back Duce Staley
Seahawks lineman Pete Kendall

2000:
