Most reports said that the plate would likely come out during the next offseason, approximately a year from now.
I'm not sure if that timeframe changes or not due to the recent surgery/replacement of the actual plate.
I think it's very safe to assume that the plate will be in there for at least a year, or until next spring sometime. Like I said, it's also possible that they may decide to leave it in for another year after that if there are any changes to the current timeline due to the recent setbacks.
I'm sure we may end up hearing more as the season goes on and things get leaked out, but you can bet that the plate will be in there for about another year at least.
I feel that we rushed him back too soon just like we did hernandez. If we had waited for it to heal then, we wouldn't be having this issue now. I honestly feel we should let him get his back fixed and whatever else is needed and just put him on ir now. If necessary put him on ir for two straight years. He is very young and I rather see him have an effective longterm career with the pats than a few short ineffective seasons.
