Can we assume Sammy Morris won't be on the IR?
 
I think the team would have put Sammy on the IR by now if his knee was more serious than we think it is

Hopefully Sammy will be back soon since practice has come about and no sign of making any more roster room for Sammy's spot so far.

I would also think that the team would have tried to trade for a good and affordable but not spectacular RB by the Deadline if Sammy was going to be sidelined the rest of the year.

Didn't he get hurt 2 days ago? Today is the first day of practice. They've still got 2 open roster spots.

So no, you can't assume anything yet. If those 2 rosters spots get filled, and he doesn't get IR'ed, then you're probably right.

AD eventually went to IR in 2008 6 weeks after breaking his arm. So, no.

Long term you can't assume anything. If the running game looks good but another position is hit by injury, at any point they could decide the roster spot is more valuable to them than Morris's future. Same thing for Fred Taylor. How well they are recovering figures in, too.

Morris got an MRI yesterday at 12:30pm. He went in on crutches. I think it's safe to assume not only is his season over, but his career in New England as well, and possibly his career in general. He's no spring chicken, and the injuries are mounting.

My wife works in the same building, so whenever there's an injury I tell her to be on the lookout for giant black SUVs with MA plates on them, LOL. Sure enough, she spots the players hobbling in.

How can it be safe to assume anything without knowing, you know, the results of the MRI?

It's JMO. He's not young, he's got an injury history, and the knee is kind of important. I don't think we'll be seeing Morris or Taylor back.

Nice call.


Belichick on Sammy Morris: "If the player wasn't going to be back, he'd be on injured reserve."
