Mankins and Seabass participate in full pads practice today!

Great news! I wonder if the time off has given Vollmer's back a chance to heal a bit, as well.

I need more tissue

That's a very good start to the week. Let's hope they can both go on Saturday.

Damn that momentum-killing bye week!

Full squad, full pads. Nice.

good news about Seabass, excellent news about logan

i would still prob start solder at RT anyways though, why fix something that isnt broken?

Awesome news. We really need both those guys. A healthy OL will be a huge deciding factor in how long our postseason run is.

Because Vollmer is better than Solder?

Fantastic news but a little more optimistic that Logan plays and Seabass does not.

If Seabass is healthy it'll be interesting to see how gets the majority of reps at RT.

I doubt Vollmer gets a lot of playing time, but maybe there's a chance to get him in a few times and get Solder in as third TE. Mix it up.

solder has been excellent while filling in, and is in game shape and healthy, you dont take out a guy whos doing that well for a guy who is out of shape, not game ready, and hurt just for kicks

the difference in level of play is not large enough.....when we faced the broncos last time, Solder did a hell of a job, he should start against them again

Great News.

Hopefully it's not just a preparation ploy for Denver and Seabass can suit up.

Gronk played inside against Miller a lot last game with Solder, having Seabass back allows us to put Solder as a 3rd TE against the edge. Gronk can worry about being more of a receiver.

Hopefully once again we can see the effective combination of Vollmer at RT and Solder at blocking TE. With Gronk on the field and either a RB in the backfield or to give a twist, Hernandez, it gives the opposing DC something to panic about.

Good news if they can hold up both today and post-practice.

You have a direct line on Vollmer's physical conditioning?

Love that formation. Huge front line. Still two excellent receivers the defense has to worry about in Welker and Hernandez. Plus Gronk and RB to worry about.
