Injury Update: Dobson's X-rays give good news

[DaBruinz]

Supposedly Dobson's X-rays came back negative.. Meaning no broken bones in his ankle/foot. Now they're just waiting on the MRI

Report: X-rays negative for Patriots' Aaron Dobson

So a sprain? Still a 4-6 week injury

Someone let me know when Belichick does the weekly breakdown of player injuries and prognosis, you know like he does. Cause Dola.

So a sprain? Still a 4-6 week injury

TBD IMO, depending on the severity and type of sprain.

 

[ViperGTS]

If you watch the replay the DB grabbed his foot and twisted a little bit. It's probably a sprain. Watkins had the same kind of thing in the week 2 Pats game, was on crutches and then I think missed one or two games. So if it's not broken, then it can't be that bad based on how the foot was pulled.

BUT WHAT BOUT AMENDOLER?

 

[VectorPrime]

Id break a dozen Dobson ankles just to get a piece of news about Amendola.

Well, whatever it was, he was limping off pretty bad. I think the question is how long can you keep a roster spot open for a guy who wasn't doing much anyway, if he's going to be out a month (or whatever).

 

[FourierSeries]

Couldn't care less about his availability for the remainder of the season. The guy is useless.

I care far more about Amendola's status.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

I don't know how many of these injured guys we can keep who can't play and can't be put on an exempt list, and still field a team.

 

[Brady_2_Moss]

Great, so in a month he can come back, miss 2 catches, make 1 and then get injured again. I'm kidding (kind of) I hope we can get him back asap

If Ernie could hurry up and finish his Magical Player Fusion Machine so we could combine Aaron Dobson and Chris Harper into one big and tall receiver who is both fast and quick and also has great hands, that would be great.

Way off topic but I'd kill for 2003 Kevin Faulk right now.

 

[Betterthanmost]

So nothing was broken and he reacted like that? Jane Dobson is soft. I thought he had a broken leg.

4-6 weeks, this is dobson we're talking about, more like 4-6 months.

 

[Mustangs84]

4-6 weeks, this is dobson we're talking about, more lie 4-6 months.

 

[HawaiianPatsfan]

Dobson is a soft scrub who the team should have moved on from long ago.

Lets just pray and hope we don't make another mistake with a early WR in next years draft. Im pretty sure this year has showed its time to take one fairly early again. Not to mention, the available FA list next year for WR's isn't very promising.

 

[Mustangs84]

Unfortunately for Dobson, the lack of healthy bodies at WR is likely going to determine his fate this season. If Amendola and Martin can't go this week, Dobson may have to be IR'd to bring in a other wide out. Hard to imagine them going into a game with two active receivers while 3 injured ones are inactive (not including Slater, for obvious reasons).

 

[Mike the Brit]

This guy worked his tail off in the off-season, made the catch of his career and got injured doing it. And folks here are going on about how soft he is. SMH

Determined Aaron Dobson gets physical

 

[zipster9]

Id break a dozen Dobson ankles just to get a piece of news about Amendola.

Why is it that the Patriots always end up drafting "fragile" players?

If Dobson is on IR, that will be that LAST we will be seeing him....
