It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I thought David Thomas showed alot of promise as a receiving tight end last year and was hoping he'd make a big jump this season. Has anyone heard how he's doing in camp so far?
We all have great hopes for him too.
The good news ... such as it is ... is that he should be
available around Week 10
... presuming he stays on the PUP list.
We hope, but recall that he will be using that foot to not only cut while running a route, but as part of his base for wrestling with DL and LBs. I have no doubt Woicik & Co. did a great job of working around the injury to keep his strength up, but I'd take as much time as I needed, if I were the training staff, to give that bone a clean bill of health.He'll be back before the end of camp. He broke his foot a long time ago; it should be close to ready by now.
That's a positive, but as a guy who spends a fair chunk of his time with doctors and physical/occupational therapists, no cast needed for a quiet sandwich and the strength to push off against a 300+ DL in the trenches is likely a few more weeks with the trainers. It would be great if he showed up at practice Sunday evening, I'd love for Tommy to increase his comfort level with this kid, but I can wait.As i posted a few weeks ago he was wearing no cast a few weeks ago in the local panera bread joint.
C.J might have changed BB prespective on hurrying players in.
Terrible. He hasn't caught a single pass, hasn't blocked anyone in blitz pickup drills, and has yet to run a correct route.
I can see you haven't been to a Panera Bread during the morning rush. Easier to hold back Ted Washington than hold your place in line.no cast needed for a quiet sandwich and the strength to push off against a 300+ DL in the trenches is likely a few more weeks with the trainers.
The joys of country life, though my cat gets pretty pushy at breakfast time.I can see you haven't been to a Panera Bread during the morning rush. Easier to hold back Ted Washington than hold your place in line.

From everything they've written about Kranchick in TC, it's hard to imagine the guy lands a roster spot. If it was me in the F.O. (and as they say, we're all lucky it's not) I'd rather take a player with better potential who's not 100%, like Mills, even if he hasn't gotten the practice reps and doesn't have the size to play the position. At some point Thomas will be back and Kranchick will get dumped, and I'd hate to see Kranchick occupy a useful spot.Might be with the weight on his foot..a bit harder for him to make it out in public with the others. A broken foot can take a really long time to recover from..might be RESERVE PUP for him.. wich means Mills had better get started quick OR it might be Kranchick who makes the team

The same could be said for Brady, Seymour, and Thomas.
I hope that Thomas can come back from this injury and become a solid #2 TE. I see Brady only being here this year and I also see the patriots drafting another TE next year. Watson and Thomas could be a lethal combination
