It's hard to say. Vrabel had a broken arm back in 2003 and only missed three weeks (the only games he missed in his eight years in Foxboro).
Conversely, other folks have had broken arms and been placed on IR.
I guess we'll have to wait and see and hope for the best.
No Ortiz, but there is a Nunn.
It does not break the NE offense, but it does take away valuable developmental time from Edelman. If this had not happened, he could continue to learn through trial by fire, and could develop into a real force by playoff time. Not sure how much this will set back that kind of timetable.uh..before fullblown hysteria sets in...Edelman is a lesser talented mirror of Wes Welker. There are already wr's on the roster slotted outside so somebody gets the chance to step in and step up>Losing Edelman is NOT going to break the NE offense.
there is no way terrence nunn makes this team
(a little throwback here)
Doesn't sound too bad to me. Other teams have been hit worse, and the Patriots have had worse seasons (such as last year!) We don't have too many players out on IR yet.so let me get this right, we've had to suffer:
Mayo was out 4 weeks with a sprained mcl
Fred Taylor out for season(ankle surgery)
Sammy Morris out for season(serious knee injury, I'm assuming ACL)
Julian Edelman--broken arm(out for 5-7 weeks)
Ben Watson--concussion, not sure of his return
Wes Welker--was out with two week knee injury
We are not even at the midway point of the season!
@hannable84 I can not confirm the Herald's report. If u were asking me if I thought it was accurate, I would say yes.30 minutes ago from Echofon in reply to hannable84]
What is your argument for that?
I think he's just referring to what people here thought in the off/pre-season. Pretty sure he's just being sarcastic.
No Ortiz, but there is a Nunn.
Too bad. Pozluzny broke his arm Week 1 and returned Week 5 so Edelman could be back soon after the bye depending on how it heals.
We'd have to be desperate to do that unless there's complications. A broken bone is usually 6 weeks or so and Poz came back quicker than that. Edelman should be back around Week 12.
It's hard to say. Vrabel had a broken arm back in 2003 and only missed three weeks (the only games he missed in his eight years in Foxboro).
Good. If things play out just right, we could be getting him and Fred Taylor back in time for a playoff push. However, with this team and injuries, I doubt things play out just right.
Conversely, other folks have had broken arms and been placed on IR.
Okay I missed that one.
Reiss just twittered that he knows about Edelman but has been unable to confirm it and "has no reason not to believe that the report is inaccurate."
In fact I first read about it from another source (SHoH) before it came out, so at this point it is most likely true.
Probably closer to accurate.
So Reiss doesn't buy it... or... yeah. Things.
A priest might be more in order...
I don't think this is likely to be true, at least not yet, since the Pats had to have known about this when they cut Galloway. If they expected him to be out for too long, they could have just put him on IR.
Looks like it'll be the Aiken, Nunn, and Tate show once Brady reads past Moss and Welker.
Although, frankly, if the Brady from last week--the on-target Brady, the Brady of 2007--is finally back, it really won't matter if we have Clay Aiken, the Flying Nunn, and Jessica Tate at WR. (Bonus points if you're old enough to remember "Soap".)
