Week 1 injury report - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

Not too bad...

If its true about Welker - (I doubt it,knowing the way this team works) - I am a little worried about his knee,especially in cutbacks across the field

 

[mgteich]

So Simmons is practicing with no limitations?

 

[BradyFTW!]

Welker's knee could be worrisome, but at least it's encouraging that Morris' injury is just a finger apparently.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Yep it is just like 2003.

Brady-Right Shoulder- Probable.

 

[Mack Herron]

I am not concerned, because Welker is tough as nails. But if I were looking to worry, 2 slot WRs and 2 CBs (including Springs, who has hardly played, and 3 knees) might affect depth a bit.

i have no idea how to read this list, but Springs' status, given that a lot of folks are pleased to have him on the roster since he's covered TO for years, is noteworthy.

Springs was brought in before TO signed with Buffalo. So I highly doubt covering TO had anything to do with it.

Are any of you uneasy about the prospect of a cornerback with

a bum knee covering T.O.?

 

[JSn]

But Owens has a bum toe.

That sounds really uncomfortable...

I don't see Wilhite on the Injury Report

I don't see Wilhite on the Injury Report

Yeah, seriously. Springs was signed because there was uncertainty with Bodden signing. He isn't the magic piece to stopping T.O.

thanks for the correction, i'll edit my post.

For a running back...that could be a big problem. Hope it's just something that rest can fix and not a break and/or worse.

A bum toe? That could explain some of the crap that comes out of him

He has played through pain before, this may not be something that hinders him too much.

I sure hope Wes Welker is going to be alright for the regular season. When the heck did he tweak his knee anyway?

Right about the time they needed to sort out the situation at receivers 3-6...

Gotcha.
