Hope it's just for bodies and doesn't mean Vince and Warren are missing the Panty Raiders game. Maybe the missing practice help was the ingredient issue last time? If not, it's concerning because other than activations require IR's. If it was just LB for LB, they'd only need one. No seems to know for sure if the PS went to SD or not.

**edit: Mike fixed the post and several posters are now claiming they knew the facts all along.

Per Reiss:

Practice squad players en route.
The Patriots have their eight practice squad players, who normally don't travel to road games, joining the team for practice starting tomorrow. Given the injury situation, the Patriots certainly need the bodies. With Vince Wilfork (shoulder) and Ty Warren (groin) ailing, a player like practice squad defensive lineman Titus Adams is likely to see more practice reps. Players are off today, with their first practice of the week scheduled for tomorrow.

they can just use a 1-5-5 alignment. that will confuse the young QB.

Dude, counting the number of men on the defense would confuse JaMarcus Russel.

did the team stay on the west coast?

if so then who would they practice against?

it would make no sense to keep them home.

I don't find it that alarming

I don't think Russell is playing - He has an ankle injury

Looks like Walter will probably be the starting QB

I'm pretty sure if they were supposed to be there, they'd have gone last time and this time earlier.

Good catch.
Clearly an extraordinarily injury depleted squad. Besides Rosie & Junior need days off to go get their Soc Security checks.

Last I heard, Russell only had bruising on his ankle and sounded like he was a go for the remaining games.

I don't know about the last CA vacation but these guys aren't traveling for a road game, they're traveling for a road practice - which makes sense to me for the PRACTICE squad.

No, the team doesn't usually stay on the road for two weeks and the last time things didn't work out so well. I think it has to do more w/having a "normal" practice week than injuries. If injuries were the only reason they were flying these guys out they would only do it with LB's Angelo Craig and Darrell Robertson along with S Mark Dillard and DT Titus Adams and forget about OL Dan Connolly, P Tom Malone, WR Maurice Price and C Ryan Wendel.
