LaMont Jordan back at practice
Link|Comments (0) Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff October 29, 2008 01:13 PM

FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots' running back corps received a boost today with the return of LaMont Jordan to practice.

Jordan has missed the team's last three games with a right calf injury.

Today's practice was held inside the Dana-Farber Field House and players were in shells (light shoulder pads) and sweatpants. The pace of the drills was high during the time media members were present.

Players not spotted at the media-access portion of practice included:

CB Ellis Hobbs
RB Sammy Morris
OLB Shawn Crable

I hope this is pre-cautionary.

This team needs Hobbs on sunday.

Good to get Jordan back
Sux to have Hobbs out but maybe a few days off will actually allow him to heal up.
I really hope his injury is something that can heal up unlike last years which required surgery to fix.

Hobbs did tell the media that tests postgame were negative so hopefully it's just a hurt shoulder and not injured at all. If that's the case he rests it since there is nothing to operate on...yet. Anti inflamatory and tub time. He knows the defense and the opponent well enough to skate until Friday and let the backups get the practice reps.

It would be huge if Jordan is back. I wasn't expecting Sammy for another week or two.

As long as Hobbs lower body is not affected that is a great thing and hopefully the shoulder doesn't become too problematic this year.

I hope they're being careful with Hobbs. Absolutely huge to have Jordan back, with Sanders back for them we're going to need to come at them as close to 100% as possible.

I would rather have them at 100% during the division games and let the back-ups get some much needed experience for the Colts game.

Jordan's return is the best news all day

Hobbs sounds like he'll be ok-I wish he'd play but maybe he needs the time more. Anyway, GREAT to see Jordan back!

Even though the Colts' offense has been off this year, facing Manning without Hobbs scares the crap out of me.

I don't know, based on the recent play of the secondary, I don't know if it will matter if Hobbs is there or not. The team basically needs to pressure Manning with 4 or 5 guys and the D will be fine. If they can't get pressure, it wouldn't matter if we had Asante & Ty in their prime in coverage.
