Giants offensive line sucks, so I doubt that a guard that the giants just cut will help. Obviously Mankins will be out for a while...

He was a late round binkie of mine in 2012, I hope Scar can make him into a solid contributor.

A risky sign signing General Petraeus right after his mistress scandal, but Belichick must see something in him. I guess you can never have too many disgraced former 4 star generals on your team.
Petrus is interesting in that he has the measurables the Pats look for. He started 3 games for the Giants last year and the stats don't seem to indicate he was an issue. He started in the last 2 preseason games with the Pats so the coaches got a reasonable look at him (though the 4th preseason game is hardly a valid test). Mallet played with him in 2009 so I would imagine he added another perspective to the decision.
If Petrus does have to take the field, the Colts would be a good team to start out against. Their DL is fairly nonathletic and they tend to bring pressure from the edges, not the interior. Would really rather not see Petrus on the field Thanksgiving against the Jets...so if Mankins and/or Connolly need to heal up, this is the week to do it.
Not just the measurables. Started as a 225# TE, also played FB. Tied the Combine bench press record with 45 reps. His 30" vertical meets Patchick's standard for Dante's Olympic high-jumping team, super heavyweight category.
The kid has the basic raw tools to be a Scar special student. May not happen, but there's a chance ...

Even if LM misses the next 3 games in IND, NYJ, and MIA, that would give him about a month to come back for the 'bigger' games in HOU/SF.
He could, in theory, miss the next 2 games vs IND and the NYJ, and be back in time for the MIA game on December 2nd. That would give him a layoff from Nov.11 thru Dec.2 to try and heal properly. That'd be 3 weeks.
I am expecting the former scenario to take place myself, thus making him rested and healed for the MNF/SNF showdowns in mid-December.
The reality is that it could be anything from a TFB "walking boot" pre-SB 42 scenario all the way to being placed on IR, so there's a lot of grey area to this injury, especially if some of the other nagging issues are still bothering him.
I'm hoping that he misses no more than the next 3 games of course.

He also just turned 60, still I'm guessing he doesn't have as much wear and tear on his joints as some guys who started 4 years in college.
Will he be a problem setting off metal detectors in airports?
