Thanks PWP. Any idea just how injured Wright was, based on what you could see?

Well he never came back in (game almost over) but he did not look badly injured. Arm, wrist?

Note to Football Gods...do not curse Wright for my hubris

FWIW, Belichick said Brace played vs. the Falcons while on EEI.

If all they wanted to do was take a look at him, then couldn't they do that without signing him to a contract?

My guess is that Sands will remain on the 53 as insurance, for as long as Wilfork remains inactive, or Brace remains incapable of assuming his snaps.

I heard from Reiss that it was because Brace stunk in the Jets game. I think he was in on the series where the Jets had no trouble running the ball all the way down the field in no time.

You nailed it IMO

That's a dramatic overstatement to what Reiss said although the concept was right.

You guys may be right but I would think bringing Titus Adams up from the PS would be more realistic insurance for Wilfork as Adams knows the defense a lot better and looked good in preseason.

No I saw him too, was sitting in the press box and I pointed it out. He definitely came in. But I think it was at a time out, so I suppose they took him out and he never played?

I could have said 'was ineffective' or 'did not play his role very well' if it makes you feel better. It just does not flow quite as quickly.

Not understanding your theory on how or why Belichick would have PUP'ed Brace?

In order to be PUP'ed, that means he couldn't have practiced at all in TC, once you practice you cannot be placed on PUP. It is reserved only for players who are injured, and cannot practice in any situation.

Not sure why you'd draft a player, then put them on PUP for no reason? How would you be able to evaluate them in any way, it really doesn't make much sense. If Brace were hurt coming out of the draft, a la Tate, then it would've been an option, but you cannot simply place a player on PUP because they aren't performing up to expectations. If that were the case, everyone would hide players there.

The only way you could determine the fact that they weren't performing would be to witness them practicing--and once they practice they aren't eligible.
