Default Today's practice absentees - not great.

No Edelman, Woodhead, Hernandez, Mayo, Vollmer, Haynesworth and Wright.

I was really hoping to see Hernandez, Vollmer, and Haynesworth there. Hopefully they will be tomorrow.

At least Bodden and Dowling are there.

How long until some dumb rube labels Hernandez as an injury-prone bust?

Or has that already happened? I get seizures from reading some of the posts here that affect my short-term memory.

It's a blessing in disguise, really.

I don't want Edelman injured, but if his injury opens the door for Vereen and/or more Slater - I'm fine with that.

They should cut Haynesworth. Waste of a roster spot. Nobody else a surprise. Was hoping for Hernandez, but not holding my breath.

the only one that we really NEED out there is haynesworth imo...hernandez would be a boost to the offense, but he likely wont be 100%

no edelman just means more snaps for ochocinco/maybe the appearance of price...and use slater on the kick returns/welker on punt returns

our running game was still good last game when woody went down..due to the emergence of ridley..maybe we finally see vereen get some reps.

id love to see hernandez out there...but if hes not 100% id rather have him sit..no use risking futher injury for our biggest matchup problem when theres alot more games left in the season.

haynesworth on the other hand is needed to help our pass rush. even if mangold plays he wont be fully there yet and haynesworth can exploit that weak ol

we have enough weapons on offense to put up 31points, im just more concerned with getting our defensive starters back to hold the jets under that amount

As much as I anticipate the sheer joy of watching Hernandez romping deep in the hapless Jests secondary, our offense has multiple effective weapons including a couple guys who need to "step up". It's the D that bothers me. I'd love to have FA because his effective presence would force the Jets to abandon their run game and go with the Sangrenade. Hilarity ensues. Having Bodden and Glass IR Dowling back, if they're really ready for contact is most helpful for this shaky defense. Starting to worry about Herr Vollmer long term. My happy face surmises that Bill is waiting for guys to be really healthy and enter November on a 3 1/2 month quest.

Before posters start to panic, Wednesday is usually the practice that vets or injured players take off.

If they miss the last practice prior to the game, that is the time to panic and jump off your virtual ledge if you so desire.

Why? Because he's been injured?

Thank goodness they drafted Solder. The kid has more than held is own.

Quite an overreaction here. As has been mentioned, Wednesday practices are typically the loosest for attendance. I'd give it at least one more day.
