Wright Injury - New England Patriots Forums

Short week and all ... we'll never know how extensive the Mike Wright injury was. He is our sack leader and losing him in the second half definitely hurt. The 1st Satan Manning INT was directly related to pressure from Wright.

The Patriots..and especially the defensive players have been raving about Wright lately....saying that he is very "underated".

He seemed fine. His speed and quickness to pressure QB are unique among our DL. Would like to get another.

Watch the block right throws at the 21 second mark of this video, it comes off the first Manning pick.

Digging deeper on Pats' 4th-quarter defense

That's not good for Thursday......

No way we beat the Lions in their den.

I didn't mean we were sunk this Thursday, just that it doesn't bode well for Wright playing then.

My bad. No disrespect to the Lions, but if there's an opportunity to sit him to get him better this game is about as good as it gets. He will definitely be needed the following week.

He's our most consistent interior rusher so it's a bit of a blow. Having him out there to close out the game would have helped. Doubt he plays against Detroit, but hopefully he's ready for the Jets game.

It's an even bigger blow with Pryor out right now..

Leaves the Pats with Wilfork, G. Warren. Deaderick, Brace, K. Love as viable options.. And none of them are truly viable 3rd down options.. It will be interesting.
