Hernandez spotted again. Tight end Aaron Hernandez was spotted near the entrance of the locker room, keeping it light in a brief exchange with reporters awaiting locker room access. Hernandez was not wearing anything around his injured right ankle, which could perhaps be seen as a sign that he is coming along. He previously has been spotted with a protective walking boot.
I imagine the boot is used to keep pressure off the sprain while the swelling goes down... that doesn't mean once the boot isn't needed that there isn't still damage there, or that the threat of re-injury doesn't exist. Besides, walking through a locker room and making a sharp cut on the field are completely different things.
This is a good sign. They should take this slow and put more in for Kellen Winslow, Jr. He was moving well in the Ravens games and is a warrior. Getting Hernandez back later in the season is fine with the receiving corps Brady has to work with. Lloyd, Welker, Branch, Gronkowski and Winslow is pretty formidable.
I would think Winslow would be on his way out once Hernandez returns, unless Winslow becomes unstoppable the next few weeks.

I think, assuming that Fells is healthy, that you'll see Hoomanawanui go instead of Winslow, and if Winslow is doing well after week 8, that Shiancoe will be moved to permanent IR and Winslow will be the backup to Hernandez, with Fells being the backup to Gronk. If Winslow doesn't work out well enough, they'll give Shiancoe a go once he's eligible to return. Either way, you're going to have 4 TE's on this roster, with two being more traditional TE's and two being more hybrid WR/TE types.
Beat me to it.
Never go against a Sicilian when responding to a TE post is on the line.
You totally underestimate BB's lust for Tight Ends
