20% of the team missing from practice

[BradyManny]

Wide receivers Randy Moss, Julian Edelman, and Brandon Tate; running backs Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris; safety Brandon Meriweather; linebacker Eric Alexander; center Dan Koppen; tackle Matt Light; and defensive lineman Jarvis Green were all missing from the media portion of practice, which included stretching and position drills.

Moss - not unexpected, he's clearly playing through at least one injury, I'd expect he's just getting the day off.

Koppen is no surprise, but unfortunate given the initial news the day after seemed positive. I'm hoping that Tate is OK, it'd be a disappointment to lose him so soon, especially if he had any real damage to his knee.

Meriweather?? Damn. Hope he's OK...

Edelman, Taylor, Morris, Light, Green are no brainers and we didn't expect anything else. Alexander isn't a huge deal.

It's a Wednesday practice. Moss has missed a whole bunch of Wednesday practices this year. So have other key players who played the game on Sunday.

For now, Wilhite and Koppen are the ones I care about. Tate, yeah, but he's not a big factor for this week. Moss and Meriweather are almost certainly just getting a day off. Good to hear Wilhite is back.

I hate to see a member of our defensive backfield a now show. I just hope he's back soon and he's ok for Sunday. Do we see Chung in the lineup if Meriweather is out.. hope im wrong with this.

Moss, sure - but Meriweather? I do have some concern over him until we see what it says on the participation report

Don't see Meriweather being out of the line-up this week. He finished the Dolphins game, so he's probably either just a little dinged up (enough to give him the day off) or he's attending to personal business.

He played every snap last week, unless he slipped in the shower he's fine.

True (10 char)

Willhite was out last week with an illness. Hope the flu has not arrived.

Well, it is an away game against the Colts. Indy will be happy to make sure that it's nice and warm in the dome to keep the sick players nice and cozy.

I consider Tate to be good for +10 yards on every kickoff return at least.... That's pretty significant.

Remember the injury report the week after the Falcons were expected to start Vick and then threw in Shaub ???

Yeah... I think BB is messing with the injury report ! Expect Florio to have a hissy fit on Monday.

anyone else worried about Meriweather having a foot issue? that kinda scares me
