Patrick Chung has been added to the injury report with a foot injury. His game status is questionable.#NEvsDEN

----

Is Coleman good to go?

Tavon Wilson covered some TE in the last few weeks, IIRC. If Chung, who has improved tremendously in this second stint here, is downgraded to out, Wilson might have to step up

seriously???

this is worse than 2013

 

[102 Pat]

Can we keep everybody in bubble wrap for the rest of the season...

Jordan Richards, come on down!

Why are we hearing about this injury today? Did Chung sprain his foot climbing down the ramp to the plane?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Lmao

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

These injuries are ridiculous

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

The multi TE sets they run...if Chung is out..that's a BIG hole to fill..he's very good at that

I just want a week of no.....


I keep saying it and it never happens...oh well

Probably dropped his suitcase on it. Or something like that.

I think it is time to start looking at new trainers. These guys are dropping like flies.

How do you train a foot?

Just stop drafting guys with feet.

BREAKING NEWS: Matt Patricia added to injury report and listed as doubtful for tonight. Sources say he will be a game time decision.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT THE FUUUUUUUU.

We need Chung, he was playing lights out.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT THE FUUUUUUUU.

Quoted because of how odd it would have sounded at certain points in the past.

That said, if there's one position where I feel good about our depth, it's safety. But THAT said, aren't we basically down to 7 DBs with Chung or 6 without him?

• Butler/Ryan
• McCourty/Harmon
• Chung/Richards
• Wilson
• (Coleman is out)

Wilson proved last week he was a defensive player and not just an STer, but I don't think the other ST DBs have proved that at all.

The team needs to look into following Brady's TB12 system for avoiding injuries and taking care of yourself.

We lose Chung in coverage, and that's what could end up hurting the team more than losing him against the run. Losing him in coverage likely means a guy like Melvin will be on the field more, assuming they don't decide to give Harmon or Wilson a look as a #3 corner first. I saw enough of Melvin against the Giants to know that I don't like what I see. I know it was his first real action in a long time, but there are still some things you should see even in a rusty player, like how to cut off a receiver and use the sideline as an extra defender, that he just didn't do well. I'm not closing the book on him yet, but I'm not inspired. That's probably why we filled Dobson's spot with another S. BB is just using S's as C's. He's not letting the dearth of true CB talent impact the secondary.

Same trainers last season. One of the healthiest teams in the league. It's nothing more, usually, than random luck from year to year.

"Oooh.... rassen frassen consarned injuries!!!!"

 

[JMC00]

Wilson

Wilson played 50 snaps Monday. Most as a CB.

That's probably why we filled Dobson's spot with another S. BB is just using S's as C's.

McDonald was released when they brought Darius Fleming up from the practice squad.

They subsequently released McDonald to activate Darius Fleming.

And we still have only 3 RBs.
