N’Keal Harry being put on IR

[lancerman]

Honestly this could be a good thing. Thomas was looking great, he's a vet who is already adjusted to the NFL. He can fill out the spot and make an immediate impact. Harry can recover and unlike other rookies who suffered injuries in recent years, he'll get a chance to contribute later. Pretty ideal

“Is N’Keal Harry soft?” I’m sure will be this weeks discussion on the sports hub.

 

[Bruins29]

All right. Now the universe makes sense.

Happy now?

 

[Dingleberry]

That’s a brutal setback.

Are we sure that he cannot attend practice?

Everything I've read says a player on IR can attend all team meetings, activities, games, etc. It seems like being at practice in street clothes would be ok but no practicing.

Not doubting the No, just holding out hope.

Passing attack won’t be as deadly as years past. No gronk and no Harry. He was supposed to be the big man to go downfield.

Please don't let this be Chad Jackson 2.0 please God

can not practice

It's always comforting to see the same group of bottom tier posters freak out over something stupid.

 

[Dingleberry]

All right. Now the universe makes sense.

Edit - sucks for our first round pick though. Then the question is, why not just do this earlier? Sigh...

Harry would not have been able to return from IR midseason had they done it earlier

You’ve got to hand it to them, it’s pretty difficult to be a negative Nancy all the time with this team.

I understand he cannot participate in practice. The question is whether he can be there, observe and learn.

???? We have other downfield threats.

Last year we started a hobbled Gronk, Dorsett, Hogan and CP

This year we start Jules, Gordon, DT and Dorsett.

can not practice

I got that. I think Andy's question was can be be out there watching practice in street clothes

yes

 

[Dingleberry]

yes

THAT'S what I was looking for!

 

[farn]

I'm fine with this - Thomas is better than Harry and no point rushing N'Keal onto the field.

I hear what you are saying & I agree. However, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that yet another first rounder is on IR... Here’s hoping that by Xmas it’ll be an afterthought.

So we knew about the hamstring, Twitter doc said it looked like he had turf toe, and now they’re calling it an ankle?

Next it will be a calf, then knee, the quad ..... we have 8 weeks

 

[Marqui]

Yay Thomas is back.

Is there a single player D. Thomas looked great against who is still on an NFL roster?
