Dennard Carted off

[Uncle Rico]

...

Maybe BB is pressing him hard to go "The Patriot Way" and keep his mouth shut.

You might be on to something ...

I read his twitter, and oddly enough, though many fans who follow him have offered their well wishes, and he graciously thanks them, and there is not one mention of his specific injury, he doesn't seem depressed at all, in fact, he seems like his happy go lucky self. He has not let out one iotaof info on what the injury is.

You say this like he wasn't buying in last year. I think a better way to put it is he has been here a year and solidly indoctrinated in the Patriot Way.

i'm hearing slight tear in dennard's shoulder.

Meh
Nothing that transplant surgery can't fix

If true, where does that put his estimated recovery time at?

good question. honestly didn't sound too serious. see what i can find out. don't want to tick off bb.

If it is true, he will be ready for training camp most likely. A player can play the next week with a slight tear depending on how slight it is.

Not a serious injury and we should be fine never the less. Just resigned Kyle Arrington who is a good cornerback and Ras-I Dowling is turning heads in the OTAs. Not to mention we drafted Logan Ryans and have some pretty good depth this time around. We will be fine. And from what I'm hearing, Ras-I Dowling could challenge and actually be out everybody because of his natural ability and ball skills...

Not a serious injury

Sorry guys, but I haven't seen anything in these posts or tweets to indicate it isn't a serious injury. I haven't even seen the word "muscle" used with "shoulder" which would be very relieving. A "slight tear in shoulder" could mean a tendon, which means we could be into rotator cuff issues.

Hope I'm wrong but we've jumped to conclusions before around here.

... i might be wrong but, i don't think Ras-I's skills has been the problem(or lack of) . He just cant stay healthy...so, i would not consider him as "insurance"

By the way... Nice job Bruins

Not being critical of you, but most of the conclusion-jumping around here has historically been of the "it's the worst possible news" variety.

We all know that he can't stay healthy but it happens and it is a threat to every single player in the NFL. Imagine if we were to all dwell on anyone staying healthy what starting rosters across the league what look like. Just say that he does stay healthy this season, then what? If you don't try then you'll never know what you could have, and could have missed out on.

True enough; just trying to get more information before going in either direction.

...the source for 'shoulder tear' is a random Patsfans poster. That hasn't been corroborated elsewhere, and I doubt tuckeverlasting here is any sort of insider.

nope, no insider , just know a close friend of dennard's. of course, he could be being bsed as well. as of now, no surgery. with the pats you just never know. said the reason he was carted off is because it hurt like hell.

Who knows? Recently, we've had Grantland Rice posting here, albeit posthumously...

Girly mon!

Snuck in at the end of the Tebow welcoming circus today was a question regarding the status of Dennard, to which Belichick replied "he'll do what he can," or "he'll do what he's able to do," or something in that nature.

I'm interested to see what some other opinions may be in regards to this issue.

Was Belichick implying that he may not be quite as hurt as many here thought and that he'll still be able to take part in some limited activities come training camp? Or was it just another "day to day" answer in a generic sense?

 

[Bruins29]

He was on the field, or off to the side, with limited action. If he was seriously hurt he would not have been out there at all so I think we all dodged a bullet.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Is he off life support yet?

Is he off life support yet?

No. That decision is day to day.
