Any word on the Meriweather injury?

It didn't look too bad, but he left and did not retrun while the rest of the first team defense (if you can even call them that right now) stayed in...

It's a 3rd degree MCL sprain. No ligament damage.

This is all that was on Reiss' blog:

Wow, this must be Meriweather himself with this kind of info
He was reported as questionable but obviously won't return.

Re: Any word on the Merriweather injury?

Wow. sarcasm, guys.

Can we open a forum solely for Armen during Patriots games?

He seems to be putting out so many posts instead of combining them in some way

Slow down Armen,Its A-U-G-U-S-T

LOL! You're so right!

I have to wait for my kids to get off the computer and then I get like 15 minutes to slam 'em out!

With a teenage daughter and her AIM discussions, the window of opportunity is small!

Sorry, I'll take a break!

Does that mean he wasn't on crutches? I have to think that means there is no broken bone or ACL tear. Maybe it's a severely sprained ankle, which would put him on the PUP.

He's ineligible for the PUP.

It's all speculation....no one thought Tanks injury looked bad either and look where he is. Let's just hope he doesn't end up on IR this week!

I forgot about that. Damned annoying.

Well you never know. However it didn't LOOK like a season ender and probably isn't. But, yeah, sometimes looks can be deceiving.

It's a mysterious rule. Maybe to stop PUP stashing I guess

I think the Lynch signing could have been more important than it looked a few hours ago - IF there is a problem with Brandon

Harrison, Sanders and Lynch would be the slowest safeties in the history of the NFL I think. But, slow or not, getting Lynch would mean more. Still it didn't look like a season ender.

Did you see Lynch in terms of body?

He looked lean and mean,strong and fit like he was 25 again,Lets hope he has some speed left as well,I bet he never stopped training hard even after the Broncos dumped him
