Kendrick Bourne (PUP), Sione Takitaki (PUP) and Marte Mapu (IR) were all back at practice for the first time this season, and despite their rust, Jerod Mayo said there may be members of that group that could contribute as early as this Sunday when the Dolphins come to town.

This has a 3-2 score feel game

This week has the feel of a get right game...for the Dolphins.

I wasn't sure if Takitaki and Mapu would be back at practice or not but we knew Bourne would be. I'm pretty confident Bourne will be activated for this weekend but not as sure about the other guys.

If Bourne is activated, they REALLY have too many WRs and need to move someone. I wonder if there's a trade partner out there for Osborn. Dallas, maybe?

A depressing thought to consider - is Brissett actually much better than Huntley?

Pro Bowl

Huntley 1
Brissett 0

I’d be shocked if Bourne plays Sunday.

only 6 OL's on the injury list!

Don't overlook Huntley. He had some good games with the Ravens. He was only in Miami for a week before he started last week. He has another week of preparation, and they have another week to tailor the offense. If Brissett is the QB, I anticipate another beat down.

 

[DaBruinz]

Any word if we can expect any of them this Sunday or just starting the week window and we still need to be patient?

As of Wednesday, Mayo hinted that one or more might be ready for Sunday.. The Pats have a space open right now AND putting Andrews on IR would give them another space.

Getting Takitaki and Mapu would help.

The real question is who is the back-up center after Hudson. And will the Patriots bring Hudson up as a game day elevation or just sign him.

The Patriots re-signed Jerome Carvin to the Practice Squad. Carvin is an OG/OC (5 games at OC in college).

Don't see Osborne finishing the season with the team, barring injuries. If everyone is healthy at the same time, he's gone. He'll either fetch a 7th or get released.

I kind of agree but yet he’s also gotten one of the highest percentage of snaps? Seems like he plays a lot. Might be due to blocking.

IMO - Bourne makes him redundant, and I think even Boutte makes him redundant.

I strongly disagree with regard to the value of Boutte. He may even be the one to go.

 

[mgteich]

If NONE of the those limited or out of these practice plays, then we need to elevate Hudson to have 5 healthy OL's.
LT Jacobs
LG Sow
C Hudson (elevated from PS)
RG Thomas
RT Onwenu

with ZERO backups. (2 were out, 4 were limited)
I suppose Strange might play.

 

[dliverey44]

Are we going to eventually see an OL of Jacobs-Jordan-Hudson-Thomas- Jones or McKenzie? That would actually be very comical and I would cry-laugh. lol

I actually hope that Layden Robinson can't go Sunday because the coaching staff seems to be enamored with Robinson and I don't see them pulling him.
