Jabaal Sheard has a sprained MCL

Source: Jabaal Sheard dealing with sprained MCL

It's not viewed as an overly serious injury, so Sheard was given a recovery timetable of about 2-4 weeks. At worst, some MCL sprains heal in 4-6 weeks.

If Sheard's recovery takes four weeks, he'll be back in time for the Sept. 11 regular-season opener against the Cardinals.

Dodged another bullet it sounds. Luckily none of these have been serious

Both Nink and Sheard could miss early games.

****s sake this has been a crappy offseason.

****s sake this has been a crappy offseason.

With regard to Brady? Sure. But they've actually gotten very lucky on the injury front so far.

Everything to honest , Brady, Lewis, Vollmer and now Sheard.

More tough injury news, but on the bright side it looks like he'll be back and in the meantime some of the younger guys will get more much-needed experience playing in place of Sheard and Ninko.

Vollmer is the only name on that list that isn't coming back. But I do agree that it's a bummer.

In the Preseason I Iove it when people we are actually depending on miss those meaningless games for them especially. Jabaal Sheard should be getting the Gronk treatment. Time for Geno Grissom and Rufus Johnson to show if they are worth keeping.

You guys do know that he suffered this injury in he first game, though. 2-4 weeks from initial injury= should be ready for season opener. But then again we shall see.

I guess the plan is do all the bad news in 48 hours and have it over in a few cycles.

While this is not good it is not bad. If it effects the Pats it does so in week 1 which is a game most expect us to lose anyone.

Vollmer is the only name on that list that isn't coming back. But I do agree that it's a bummer.

Pats had a really good draft though, even with the 1st round theft.

If we are going to have a problem with signing both Collins and Hightower would it be prudent contract wise to offer the Chargers Hightower for Joey Bosa. Or is that a bit dumb!

IMO Bosa one step away from asking for a trade.

Imagine if OG Ted Karras also starts with Joe Thuney that would be a Great haul.

Vollmer is the only name on that list that isn't coming back. But I do agree that it's a bummer.

Vollmer could come back later in the year.

He won't sign with them so why would he sign with us??

 

[Big Bucks]

Because we give him what he wants. lol

I'm not sure how you can definitively say that in week three of the preseason.
