Re: Rapoport: Mayo in good spirits, tells teammate injury is "nothing serious"
When Mayo plays a game I'll believe he's healthy. I don't trust a single word that comes out of Belichick's locker room on an injury. He didn't play a single down after an apparent knee injury. The Patriots are playing the Jets next week. He'll report a torn ACL as a minor sprain until he has to issue the official injury report.

That was hilarious. He kept making the mistake over and over. It's not like Matt Light is some no name guy either. He's a pro-bowler on a team that gets 30 minutes of discussion out of a 90 minute Sportscenter.

No, BB's response to that question is, "I don't have an update to give you."
The "tough kid" was a reference to the guy in my sig.

Good. We're going to need him back next week. He, TBC, and A.D. can make for an effective pass rush against the Jets, especially when Mayo going up the middle.

Re: Rapoport: Mayo in good spirits, tells teammate injury is "nothing serious"
scenarios for BB's next presser
Scenario 1: the injury is not serious and he'll be practicing on Wednesday
Q: How's Jerod doing? It looks like he took a pretty bad hit there.
A: He has a sore leg but he was walking around OK in the locker room afterwards. We're evaluating him and will let you know more later in the week.
Q: Is there any chance he won't be able to play next week or maybe be even more seriously injured?
A: I think I've said all I'm going to say on that for now. Next question.
Scenario 2: the injury is season ending
Q: How's Jerod doing? It looks like he took a pretty bad hit there.

Play next week against the Jets? I missed the first quarter of the game, but if he was limping into the locker room with a "knee injury" and never returned to the game, why is there any reason to think he'll play next week? I mean, I"m not saying that it's a guarantee that he'll be put on IR, or miss a couple months, but there's also no reason to say he definitely won't.
Perhaps i'm just sensitive to the whole Brady injury, but knee injuries can be sensitive things.
Is there any reason at all to be optimistic about Mayo playing in the next few weeks? How did he look when he was limping to the locker room? How long was he treated on the field by the staff? What was the facial expression? I missed the first quarter so if anyoen could help me out here it would be great!
