REPORT: Patriots WR Brian Tyms 2015 Season May Be Over

Belichick will probably speak to the nature of the injury at his press conference.
If he omits it, the reporters will probably bring it up anyway.

I believe Boyce exists. Beyond that, I do not believe.

And this happened when Randy Moss traveled to practice the TD celebration with him.......

Could patriots look at reggie wayne if tymes goes on ir

Reggie Wayne is no longer a deep threat receiver. He's more suited for the slot

Gibson. Veteran experience, seems to be pretty solid. Probably all you could ask for from your fifth receiver. I love Harper though and pray the team manages to get him on the practice squad... I think he could be very solid within a year or two.

Harper and Boyce may not both make it through to the PS, so the one that lands on the PS may be the "less desirable" of the two.

Well, Randy was in practice with Brady, idk if he saw Tyms LOL

If LaFell is ready for the season (or of a couple of weeks laters), we don't have any use for Boyce or Harper. We have Edelman, Amendola, Lafell, Gibson and Dobson (with one usually inactive).

If LaFell is put on the PUP, I could see us adding Harper or Boyce or even a free agent.

I wouldn't be too surprised if LaFell went on PUP, he has been out all of camp it seems... I wouldn't mind the team keeping Gibson and then also keeping Harper for a few weeks while LaFell is out. Then seeing how the chips fall from there.

Well, even with 6 WRs on the roster including Slater, Edelman (gets hit a lot), LaFell (currently hurt), Amendola (gets hurt) and Dobson (need I say it?), a PS WR could be useful.

But yeah -- if Lafell is unfortunately actually PUPed, the Pats probably keep one of Harper or Boyce and don't cry if the other one doesn't make it through to the PS.

He reportedly shed the walking boot in early July, so either he's had a setback or they are just being cautious with him. I imagine that we'll know one way or the other in the next 7-10 days.

If you're speaking solely about 2015, then sure; otherwise, WRs haven't exactly been growing on trees around here, so I certainly think there is a developmental "use" for them.

No one wanted Boyce last year when he was cut. It's hard to see that changing, unless it would be one of those divisional teams who foam at the mouth every time a Patriot is released.

I'd be all for keeping one or both on the PS at times throughout the season. As you mention, lots of things can happen when it comes to injuries.

So if something happens to Amendoler then yes

Sucks for him, he seems like a good guy but honestly probably wouldn't have made the roster. Good luck to him getting healthy again and hope he's here next off season competeing.

Gibson (from limited time) seems like a decent fit and a solid player overall. Whats up with Dobson and his injury though? Might need to revisit Reggie Wayne or somebody being that LaFell is still hurt too. At this rate, Chris Harper may be on the regular roster

I forget who posted it (Howe maybe?), but they said that Dobson believes he is healthy enough to come back to practice right now; however, the Pats are treating him with extra caution before he returns.
