Light, Mankins injuries - New England Patriots Forums

Apologies if this has been covered here already, just got back from Gillette: Replay of play where Mankins got hurt looks like possible MCL in his left leg. Apparently Light did something to an ankle during warmups. Any updates? Thanks.

Well knowing BB we won't have any updates till Wednesday... But looked to me like Mankins got his ankle rolled up on, (not to the degree Roethleswhatever had last week). I think Light was close to going so I think he could be back next week.

It was reported that Mankins wanted to go back in the game, and the Patriots wouldn't let him. Don't know if that means anything, but sounds like it can't be too bad.

Do you think it's worth the risk of bringing Light back next week? I'd rather rest him for the playoffs. I hope both of these guys get healed quickly. They're both key players we're going to need for World War III in January.

If they can have one of Light, Mankins, or Volmer back for next week, the line should be OK.

I was 10 rows behind the Patriots bench and Mankins definitely wanted to go back in. I didn't think he looked hurt at all so hopefully it's just precautionary.

We need as much of the starting OL as we can get for the playoffs. If the OL is healthy, we are making the SB... BOOK IT
