That list is talented. Doesn't matter to BB though. Gotta prepare as if they all play.

I guess "Burkhead, ribs" must mean BROKEN ribs, rather than bruised.

Howe shed some light on this. And it is painful af.

Possible exception being that there's another game in a short 4 day window on Thursday.
I see High as active but not "starting" and used sparingly.

If they don't just hold him out again, altogether.

I'm not sure why so many here decided to totally dismiss the 2-4 week MCL sprain window because a new report came out the next day describing it as "mild," but it's a player with a chronic knee history in the month of September, and as you stated, they're playing two games in five days.

If they bring him back on TNF 10/5, that would also give him a longer period to recoup after a layoff, prior to the next game. We'll have to see how they handle it.

Unfortunately EVERY QB we’ve faced so far has thrown for 300+ yards, whether he’s down or not, our D can make a pedestrian QB looks great. I don’t see him struggling against the # 32 rated defense.

Who cares ? Those numbers are meaningless.. especially before November.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Great to see him back. Doubt he plays on Sunday but it's a good sign for the future.





But apparently he's still in a lot of pain.

The Panthers will be down to their 3rd & 4th CBs playing most of the game. Their safeties aren’t anything special either.

Tom in shotgun. Drop 30-40 points. Rinse repeat.

Of course people here think it is the patriots that have so many critical injuries. It might be instructive to look a CAR and GB.

Yes, we're missing one starter in Edelman and apparently has critically affected our passing game.

IMHO, we greatly overstate the effect of the injuries to the team.

I love Burkhead.

Awesome. No excuses this week. Defense bring your A game

I know BB might think otherwise but I would give Hightower one more week just because of the short turnaround. Anybody who gets seriously nicked up will definitely miss Thursday. Would like a healthy Hightower for a tough Road game...after next Thursdays game we would have a few extra days to rest.

After Thursday, we won’t play an NFL team for 17 days.

Expect McDaniels to run right at their linebackers 20-25 times then

I am worried about butler being named a practice player of the week. Usually they name guys who are bottom of the roster players to that honor and i thought Butler was beyond that at this point.

Butler is a UDFA three weeks into his NFL career. No chance he's beyond a black jersey or two just yet.

Hoping cannon's playing. Brady has been the second most hit QB in the league. This line has to do a better of protection

Nate Solder just breathe a sigh of relief *phew*. Now watch him give up two sacks.
