Vollmer has ankle sprain

[reflexblue]

"Sunday’s loss for the patriots included another injury to a key offensive player. PFT has confirmed that left tackle Sebastian Vollmer suffered a sprained ankle during the game"

Sebastian Vollmer has an ankle sprain

I Hope its not a high ankle sprain.

Three weeks to heal I'll take Vollmer at 80% vs the alternatives.

Well isn't he suppose to get a scan? Hope for the best at this point. Scary proposition to enter the playoffs with the oline we have now.

hes got three weeks to heal.

hes got three weeks to heal.

Yes, even better.

Rest him, of course (doubtful he'd even be able to go anyway). Sit Gronk, McCourty, Chung, etc. Anyone that's nicked up, rest them. I would say rest Brady too but he and Edelman may want the live reps together. If they do, no more than a few series. I've reversed my stance on the #1 seed. After watching Vollmer go down and the team dodge a bullet with him, they need to get as healthy as possible.

I agree too. I have changed my stance too after seeing two or more guys go down every game and gronk had some scary moments yesterday too. I'm just glad we have a bye and I think we can beat Miami with backups anyways.

Yes, even better.

Am I the only one on this board who is reminding people that the Dolphins are an NFL team? I sure hope that the Patriots aren't thinking the way some of our posters are thinking!

Agree, health has to be the priority. They can best any team anywhere if they get the guys who are out back and don't lose any more. The new on Vollmer is pretty good so far.

The last time we were over confident, the Eagles beat us. Incidentally, my pick for next week
will be the Dolphins. No faith by the Patriots in their own offense to come up with a workable
game plan.

I never said the Fins game was a walk over, especially in Miami which has been the Pat's house of horrors, but health is simply more important IMO. I'd rather lose to Miami and be the two seed and have Vollmer, McCourty, Chung, JE, AD............all ready to go in the playoffs.

And you'd be putting abunch of guys on the field who hadn't played meaningful snaps in weeks, if not months, against a playoff team that had already won a playoff game...

Recipe for disaster.

VS not having them at all because they came back too soon so you trot out what you had vs the Jets yesterday which was awful.

That's good news. Glad it's not season ending. Having him back at tackle for the playoffs is huge.

My gut is that Home Field is going to be very important for this team.

Call Peyton's* doctor.. get some good stuff, have it sent to your wife and then whine a lot..

They need to win the Dolphins game also IMO.

This is really good news if it is just an ankle injury though am surprised they carted him off if that's all. Thought for sure he was done with an ACL/MCL injury.

All I care about at this point is for Edelman, Amendola and him to come back for the play offs healthy and not suffer anymore injuries.
