On the bright side, it shouldn't affect his kick offs.

Exactly. Keep me honest but I think hes on all 4 teams.

Exactly. Keep me honest but I think hes on all 4 teams.

He is and lead special team snaps by a wide margin this year.

Don't worry, he's not going to make the squad this year. They will cut him for roster space.

The irony of this is that Ebner did in fact "make the club from the tub" in 2013.

He's a rugger. He'll play better with an injury.

 

[Geezer Butler]

No worries, once he writes "Bear Down" on it he will be fine.

I like Andy Hart's joking theory that Gronk yelled, "Hey! RUGBY" then tackled him out of the blue and then said, "Sorry."
Again, let me re-emphasize HE WAS JOKING.

There's nothing wrong with his arm. This is just playoff equipment for kick and punt coverage.

Slater gets a spoiler on his butt.

We're screwed. I'm selling my tickets.

After Practice:


Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
Ebner is now wearing a heavy wrap that extends halfway up his right forearm.

 

[RayClay]

Breer is reporting it as a very high ankle sprain.

 

[captain stone]

I pray that this doesn't effect his ability to take snaps with the regular defense.

 

[jays52]

With the exception of drag an arm cast doesn't hamper one's ability to scream downfield under a kick and detonate a wedge. I think he'll be just fine.

On Patriots special teamer Nate Ebner, I'm told it's a ligament type issue that has his right arm in cast, but he hopes to be ready Jan. 16.
