Siliga Out, DL in

[BelichickFan]

Hopefully Siliga is going on IR-DtR not full season IR.

I am not so sure, how I feel about Fortson, I bet we regret letting the Colts sign Quarles off the practice squad now.

Unfortunately, you can only keep so many players and you cannot protect practice squad players other than signing them. The Giants already let the guy go and no one picked him off of waivers when the Pats released him. It was the right move at the time, but you cannot control teams having injuries and then having a need for your practice squad players. It was just luck of the draw that the Colts had an injury on the d-line before the Pats did.

Forston is what he is but at least he knows the defense. Chris Jones and Easley would likely get more snaps to replace Siliga regardless if Forston or Quarles takes the roster spot.

I probably would have preferred them to sign Worthy off KCs practice squad than resign Fortson.

There was a new No. 98 at practice. Sealver Siliga was absent. All practice squadera were present.

It appears, since all practice squad players were present and there was a new player, that Siliga is going to IR.

If Siliga was placed on short-term IR, he would be eligible to return Nov. 23 against the Detroit Lions.

Since there were 63 players on the field, and Siliga was absent, it appears the third-year pro was either placed on short-term injured reserve or season-ending injured reserve.

It's all over twitter. Go look for it.

This is the article I saw it is all speculation from what I have read.

My man @DougKyedNESN said that it's not Marcus Forston out there wearing No. 98. The mystery continues!

Just an added thought - We do not know for a fact that it is Fortson who signed, the only report is that a #98 was on the field, but they could assigned that number to someone other than Fortson.

I am going to say it is Worthy because he was #97 in the preseason but they assigned that to Schwenke who is on the practice squad. Worthy was on KC practice squad so it makes sense they could get him on the field this morning. This is pure speculation on my part and nothing more than a guess.

I know there's no chance of it, but I miss Kyle Love.

Worthy would make sense though. He was on the Chiefs PS.

It may be the case. He has been 99 for his college and Packers' career, but Buchanan has that number.

Has the KC gameplan and a player the Pats were interested in enough to trade for him (like Quarles, he was a victim of a numbers game).

That BB sure likes mysteries. Keeps everyone on their toes.

 

[FourierSeries]

At this point any injury to any player just brings back terrible memories from last year when players started dropping like flies.

It can't be Worthy, precisely because he's on the Chiefs PS. NFL rule:

Patriots can't sign a player off Chiefs' practice squad since they're playing this week. RT @ConnorXBrady: @DougKyedNESN jerrel worthy?

Sure it isn't Bass?

They gave Bass #93 according to reports, but the reporter could have looked quickly and thought the 3 was an 8.
