So Chad Ochocinco has played in 31 of the 151 offensive snaps so far this season but Taylor Price was going to bust into the starting lineup in the first 2 weeks?
Is it at all possible that he could play if needed but he's simply not needed right now?
Talk about an extreme overreaction.

Are you people for real? The guy played in one of the most archaic offenses in college football. His main role in college was blocking, for ***** sake.
Everybody knew he was a project when he was drafted. What you have to understand is that Edelman and Slater will ALWAYS be active, because of their special teams roles. That means Price has to beat out one of Welker, Branch or Ocho. Yeah, he hasn't done that yet, but to say he's approaching bust status is ridiculous (can a late third round pick even 'bust', anyway?).
Price has also been dealing with injuries, which is something his detractors like to forget. (and please don't even bother with the 'he's not injured, the Patriots injury report doesn't mean anything!' routine, because you have absolutely no idea in this case).
I have this sneaky suspicion that they might be saving him for the Jets game. Could be wrong, could be right. Who knows.
I'm rooting for this kid....main reason is b/c he is from the town I currently reside in.
Hernandez back by the Jets game will be like Christmas in October.
Injury Report: Haynesworth, Two Others Downgraded to Out
Injury Report: Haynesworth, Two Others Downgraded to Out
By: Derek Havens
On Saturday evening the Patriots announced three additional players have been downgraded to out. Albert Haynesworth, Patrick Chung and Taylor Price all will not play on Sunday in Buffalo. ...
Special teams excellence has earned Slater his job....we Kept Kelly Washington for a few years,not because of his WR skills,but superb ST leadership.
In 2007, at least, I don't recall Washington even getting a single pass thrown his way all season.

Only if BB drafted him.

Price is the team's WR5 or WR6, depending upon whether Slater is catching passes only because he's already in on special teams or because he's legitimately in front of Price on the WR depth chart. That being the case, he's a likely inactive on any given week. Hernandez being out this week opened the theoretical possibility that the team would activate him, but the team seems to have decided that other positions need to be addressed this week.
That doesn't make Price a bust. It does make him a bottom of the roster receiver right now, but that's nothing new for him.

With the Patriots already declaring six players out for Sunday's road game against the Bills, they have just one more player to downgrade before kickoff. If all injured players play in the game, the last player to be declared inactive will likely be quarterback Ryan Mallett.
MReiss. So Price will be active.
edit. Apparent he is ruled out.
