Danny Amendola Injury Watch 2015

50-yard-line said:

We WON last week in no small part because of a DA punt return.

And he did it again THIS week.

Harper looked lost on punts - these are important plays.

He took like, what, 2 punts, one which was going out of bounds....

Looked like he just tweaked it. Probably held out for precaution especially after they lost Dobson. I am worried if he will be in there on Sunday, but the fact he was sitting with Brady on the sidelines it probably isn't that serious.

Yeah, he was on the sideline the whole fourth quarter walking around.

A very good sign. At this point anyone who goes into the lockerroom ain't coming back.

I just have to point out how hilarious it is that he has not been injured recently and how everyone was saying an increased role could lead to injury . . . and he gets something wrong on his first night in a slightly increased role. LOL

Seriously, this injury **** is going to be what beats the Pats before any team will.

Despite the importance of the punt returner, the special teams/punt returning position is much easier to replace than the loss of Amendola AND Edelman.

At this point in the season with Edelman out and your offense relying on the obvious importance of Amendola, I think we'd consider giving up that 25 yard punt return tonight.

Should change the title to Amendola AND Dobson watch.....

This is getting frustrating...

Looks like Austin Collie plays for the BC Lions. He'd have been a decent pick up.

Dobson is officially Ras I Dowling status

So sounds like something minor

Yeah I think Dobson is toast.

He was cooked when he finished the season with us back in 1886. I think I saw him in Deadwood...

Unfortunately, I am guessing that Dobson is done. If not done, gone for a really long time.

He made a couple of clutch catches for us.

Almost??
At this point, he now is.

I am calling this injury issue the Nike curse!

Yeah, I was waiting for the official season ending injury status report. But this is true.

At this point I'm starting to wish Welker was still a Free Agent....

There's literally no one worthwhile avaliable to sign out there. Extremely slim pickins

sieglo said:

Insane for him to be out there returning punts.

Well, as we've learned like /a million times/, Bill puts a lot more importance in special times than PatsFans,

Onedaful said:

Like I said in the game thread, if we are without Dola we are in some serious ****. Gronk looked lethargic as hell tonight as well. What do we do with such a thin WR core? I know its early but I think Chris Harper might be a big time sleeper.

Gronk was hitting the oxygen hard at one point. Maybe he was ill this week or something and just not the report.

I don't know, 9 catches in 2.5 periods seems a bit more than 'slightly' increased.
