What is the word on Mayo?

[Ivan]

Strange that we really haven't heard anything about Mayo's injury. Does anyone know what is going on with him. What is the injury, any idea how serious etc....?

 

[PatsDeb]

They said his arm was in a sling after the game, and in my experience, no news is bad news with the Pats...

 

[Jackson 2]

I read somewhere dislocated shoulder.

 

[Ivan]

I just think it is bizarre that we have gone this far without anyone hearing anything. It's almost like they have so many injuries that we have lost track.

Would prefer that to a broken arm. No surgery needed, he could be back next week.

Agreed. Around here, broken arms =amputation likelihood.

 

[PATSNUTme]

He's day to day.

 

[Ivan]

I think they can rotate Fletcher and Collins in situationally and get by for a few weeks, i just hope it's not going to be a season ending injury, they really can't deal with too many more long term losses.


On the bright side if there is any kind of balancing on the injury front then they should be healthier on the back side of the season than they were at the start of the season. And if this team gets the right guys healthy for the play-offs, combined with development by the young guys and the receivers in particular then they could be really dangerous in the play-offs.

I agree, would hate to hear the words IR or surgery

 

[Kid~Brady]

He's day to day.

Or, as Gronk puts it, "day by day"

Yeah, I heard Felger say that you just put a band aid on a broken arm and the player should be back on the field in a few days...

No news is bad news but not the worst news, in my experience, we usually hear fairly quickly about the guys that go on IR once their ailments are determined to be season ending but we also usually hear pretty quickly about the guys that dodge bullets.

Curran hinted on twitter that maybe after the gronk circus and news leakage there has been renewed emphasis from the team to STFU.

 

[RobAllan]

The word on Mayo? It's pretty tangy, but overall if I could have only one, my preference would still be mustard.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Typically we know about IR situations within a day or two. I still would be shocked if Mayo is back by Thanksgiving.

When Dennard hobbled off at the end of the Falcons game we heard nothing until it was reported he practiced.

[Ozymandias]

We'll know more when the practice reports become available tomorrow.

If I had to guess, I'd say he's out until the bye week.

Dennard hobbling off at the end of The Falcons game wouldn't be noticed by anyone anyhow. Kinda like "if a tree falls in the forest...."
