I think LeVoir WILL be activated...I think that is a given..Who else is where the question??
Stanback, Nunn or Tate?? Everyone is going with Tate, but it could easily be Nunn who has been practicing with Brady the longest. Whichever way they go..it's their best..

For the long haul (particularly those games right after the bye week), I think we need both Tate and Nunn to be up to game speed as soon as possible. So, I would not be surprised to see both of them activated (and play) now and Levoir (who is the more experienced of the three) later. With Simmons as the OT backup, I don't see where we really need Levoir for the Bucs game.

Wonder if they'll announce via realpatriots tweet

Definitely one WR will be activated, possibly two, though I doubt it.

I'd love to see Nunn get a chance. He made some really great catches in TC and the preseason, and he's had 6 weeks of practice. But I also think Tate could be a really good player, though I don't know how ready he will be after such a long lay-off.

I'm going with this guy.

Nunn can probably offer a "safer" option due to his early involvment. But, if we're not playing with a Chad Jackson, part deux in Tate - he should have the talent to offer more in terms of big play ability over the long haul.

We'll see. Anyone here actaully think they NEED one of the two WRs to beat Tampa ? Not me. 4 WR set : Faulk wide, Maroney wide, Watson wide... then we have 2 more weeks to worry about Ronnie Brown and friends.

I like your thinking. Hope you are right.
Tate for returns and Nunn for 4th WR sounds good.

Galloway had more talent and big play ability than Edelman. WR is about running the right routes in NE.

I am thinking Nunn if they want a WR, Tate if they want a returner, both if they want a WR and a returner.

Someone said LeVoir, which surprised me. I don't think it will be him, only because whoever they activate from PUP will likely on the 45 man roster. Oterwise why activate. I don't see LeVoir on the 45 so I don't see him being activated off PUP.

When does Belichick have to announce these players? He might

wait until one minute before game time.

Big play ability is not worth much if you can't catch the ball or

catch it with your feet in bounds.

I think the Herald mentioned this morning that the Pats have no media access today, so I'm not sure how we'd find this out prior to the inactives announcement tomorrow. Hopefully somebody gets the scoop.

At any rate, Reiss seems to think Tate will get the call per this tweet a couple minutes ago:
