There have been reports for several weeks/months that Andre Carter has been rehabbing at Gillette.

So why is the fact that a reporter decided to once again comment on that fact suddenly newsworthy, and evidence of an imminent contract signing?

The thing is, that statement probably still has more chance of being accurate than if Ron Borges had just reported it.

Based on absolutely nothing but speculation, I always felt that the biggest reason for Cunningham's fall from grace last season was that he didn't react well to all the free time the lockout brought players. So taking the next step on the road to speculation, is it fair to hypothesize that the cutting of Markell Carter was made easier because the Pats brass was happy with Cunningham's off season so far.

I have no idea how its actually going, except for noting that he's been in NE for the entire off season. So I'm just brainstorming here.

The severity is not just in the amount of rehab, but in that a player of his age who relies on his legs is unlikely to ever recover the burst he had.
I was primarily looking for a link.

Carter was in Foxboro on Thursday working with the team medical staff, apparently. Here's a link: Patriots Notebook 6/8/12: Andre Carter, Zoltan Mesko, Gerard Warren - Pats Pulpit

It was thoroughly reported when it happened, should be easy to find one.

I tried. Nothing definitive is mentioned...(but that is typical of this team)

The fact that he injured his quad is mentioned thoroughly enough, but the severity is not revealed. 'Torn' is the more frequent description, but I hear people mention 'ruptured' (including "tore off at the knee" or the like) Not sure what the difference is, if any, or which one it is. I couldn't find any articles supporting this. It might make a difference as to a timeline for recovery.
