Him and Brandon Tate next year.
Don't forget Shawn "not able" Crable
Has any player in NFL History started on IR 3 consecutive seasons beginning from his rookie year?
From the looks of things Crable could be one of those guys made of thin glass.
Funny, I was just thinking about McKenzie. He was supposedly having a good camp before the knee injury. I am curious as to how much he would be playing if healthy.
He and Tate will be like 2 extra draft picks next year. This team is setting itself up to be loaded for the next 5 years or so.
Reiss did say that but the Patriots don't generally hide surgeries when a guy has been IRed. They may have decided that a fully torn MCL would put him back far enough to not bother with him until next year. I have no way to know it wasn't an ACL but he'd have had surgery for sure by now and I think we would have heard about it.Wouldn't count on Tate, though. Reiss has mentioned in one or two of his mailbags that he's heard Tate's injury may be serious, as in another torn ligament. He suffered that in October, so he could be headed to the PUP for next season. We'll see.
In Reiss' guess, he speculated it was the other knee. Even if it was another ACL (which Reiss has never said, he just said ligament), it's not reasonable to infer that he wasn't ready to be back especially if it turns out to be the other knee.Tate should have been a 'redshirt' last season. Now, it's quite possible that he'll miss another training camp and be 2 full years behind in attempting to make it in the NFL.

Nothing much going on here, just wanted to remind everyone of this guy named Tyrone McKenzie who will be around in the spring. Not a name that has been heard too often since this past May, so I figured I would get PatsFans reacquainted.
The status of the rehab but the Patriots didn't keep any secret about him having a torn ACL nor when he had surgery. They just didn't talk about his rehab.
Tom Brady's situation was classified higher than most military secrets.

IR spells CUT if it happens again

I hope he fully recovers shows us what he can do.
That being said, we need to draft some more LBs. Guyton hasn't developed like we all thought he would. He is a liability against the run. AD might be gone. Seau is a short term fix and Crable may never see the field for us.
Looking into the next 3 or 4 years, only Mayo and Tully, based on thier play this year, have solidified two of the four LB positions. Tully IMO has improved his play against the run, is good against the pass, and can be counted on consistently.
So that leaves one ILB and one OLB spots that need to be solidified. We have two guys in McKenzie and Crable coming off injuries, Guyton needs to improve against the run, AD is probably gone, Burgess has yet to prove himself as a permanent solution, and Seau is a short term fix.
I can see the Pats bringing in some veteran FAs and drafting a LB or two.
