Here are a few updates on the Patriots' injury front:
Linebacker Adalius Thomas' arm injury -- which knocked him out of Sunday's win over the Bills in the second quarter -- will require surgery and he is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to an NFL source. The Patriots have not yet officially placed Thomas on season-ending injured reserve at this time.
Running back Laurence Maroney, prior to signing autographs for fans tonight at the Reebok Store at Patriot Place, indicated he was "just getting started" on a nine-month plan to "get stronger" and "get better." On Oct. 20, Maroney was placed on season-ending injured reserve because of his shoulder. While guarding details of his injury and not disclosing if he's had surgery, Maroney said he first hurt himself during the team's Sept. 14 win over the Jets, and hinted that the injury lingered before reaching a breaking point against the 49ers on Oct. 5. As for the "issues" he had talked about on Oct. 3, he said those were solely football-related.

It's good that through all the harsh criticism Maroney is hearing it and building on it. I can't say it's all unjustified, and I'm glad he unlike most athletes doesn't whine and will at least work towards it. If only he can learn to stay healthy....
The fact that Maroney is just now getting started on re-habbing his shoulder and that its a 9 month process tells me that he had surgery on it. Its going to be interesting to see how he performs next year.

I think at this point, you've got to start wondering about those shoulders, since we don't have the info to tell us if they were similar injuries or just a freak coincidence. If this guy is the Kendrick Perkins of the Patriots, his career is already all but done.

I did not read it to say that the 9 month process is shoulder-specific. It says a nine month process to get stronger and get better, I take that to be a full body training program.

I'm not so sure. He could have had an issue with the shoulder dislocating. If that is the case, the surgery will fix the problem and it shouldn't be an issue going forward.

That's actually the issue I'm talking about. Perkins has that problem, and you may recall him having the surgery and still injuring it in the NBA finals. The surgery is supposed to solve the problem, but it's not a 100% thing.
