Practice report: still no Wright, Hernandez, but some good news

[ctpatsfan77]

From the ProJo blog:

Hernandez and Wright still out, and Woodhead is still in a red jersey, but OG/KR Dan Connolly is back in white.

Need to get Hernandez back, hopefully its not to serious with his hip.

Well, if he's not practicing next week then we'll know. Personally, I'm more worried about getting some of the guys back on defense.

Is it just those 2 missing? So Cunningham/TBC are back?

TBC is back, Cunningham and Moore are not.

Let's hope BB is just being extra cautious with the injured players and giving them extra time to heal.....

As long as they are back at practice next week is all that matters.....

Hopefully, but the signing of Murrell raises some concern that at least one of Moore/Cunningham may not be returning anytime soon. I guess we will find out as soon as Spikes' exemption expires.

I'm a little concerned that Vollmer wasn't out there today. I hope it's not injury related.

WRIGHT, HERNANDEZ, CUNNINGHAM AND MOORE OUT - this is not good. Not good at all. TBC being back get's a "meh" from me. Yah, they need the body - but jeez, his body would be the last one on the list. I think Tully kind of sucks.

Wright is one I'm pessimistic about. Whether or not Borges' extreme comment was accurate, when a guy's been out this many weeks with no evident progress, he could just as easily be out a few more.

 

[Mountain_Commando]

Mike Reiss said that Pats are probably going to get a long weekend (Friday off). That's great for healing. I agree with others, no need to reach for the prozac before next week's practice.

 

[Gwedd]

Until I hear similar reports next week, then I'm not worried about who is or isn't at practice this week. Let the players who need rest, rest and get them healed up as much as possible.

 

[VectorPrime]

It is still the bye week, no need to worry. The injured players I am sure are just taking it easy since this is the off week. Next week is when we need to pay attention to what they are up to.

 

[SVN]

worried about hernandez , this is the 3rd week he has been out.

 

[drakehead]

From Reiss' chat today.....

These are always tough, Corey, but we all saw Hernandez in the locker room today and if it was really serious, I don't think we'd see him. I'm going to stick my neck out there, and on a hunch say that he'll back on the practice field next week.

 

[naF staP]

While I like to live in the moment and cherish every single day, I have made an exception. Next week can't get here soon enough, I'm anxious to see practice reports on Monday.

 

[CheeseMonkeys]

I am so anxious for the Pats to play and it's killing me... I really hope that we get as many players back as possible before the big game. It would not be good if Hernandez was out, he adds so much more veratility to the offense I think Woodhead will most likely be or almost be 100% by the start of the game. The D line really can't afford any more injuries and I hope Wright will be ok.

I heard on PFW (I'm not sure how accurate their source is) but apparently Wright had a concussion so bad that he hasn't been watching film because the lights are giving him trouble, if that concussion is that bad it could seriously jeopardize his life. Depending on the accuracy of that report I almost want him to be put on IR just to be safe, there's no point risking your higher brain function on a game.

and I heard tonight that Wright was improving, which is the latest report.

IIRC they were just repeating what Borges said. It's worth noting that what Borges has said has been contradicted by what others (e.g. Tom E Curran) has said.
