Ochocinco not spotted at practice

Do we normally go nuts like this when someone isn't spotted at a small portion of practice?

Do we presently have those guys anyway? They all look confused out there to me so what difference will it be if we try just a guy? I mean we have a receiver playing DB and safety at times.

No big deal

Ochocinco hasn't been spotted in any post game stats most of the year

No way we win this game if our 1000 yrd receiver can't go.

Does it really matter? How many catches he had in last 4 games? 5 games? 6 games?

If he cannot figure it out after 11wks, he never will.

Might as well see how TaylorPrice does, assuming he doe not get hurt again (ala Chad Jackson)..

One of the worst duds in BillB's signings..

Bigger concern is Branch and Welker limited and the only WRs who run the no huddle.

Don't worry guys. He's still healthy enough to break out this week

SMY is wrong. He did, in fact, not practice today, according to the injury report. He did not participate due to a hamstring injury.

7 receivers! 7! Someone needs to be cut. Just saying, we need a lineback just for this game or else those Eagles QB will be running wild!

Who are you describing as the seven receivers? It's important to be specific and include every role each of these guys fills, including running back, defense and special teams. Are you including Nate Solder in your calculation who is lining up as an eligible receiver?

I predict Solder catches a pass for a TD in Philadelphia on Sunday. How, for Pete's sakes, do you cover a trio of Hernandez, Gronkowski and Solder on 2nd and goal from the two?

The one guy who is most limited among the people that run routes for Tom Brady is Ochocinco. He has no role on special special teams, does not line up in the backfield, and has yet to line up on defense to help with coverage a la Julian Edelman (in the footsteps of Troy Brown.)

I think Ocho is the most expendable (and most costly) of the the seven guys you're thinking about.

Dudes, It's totally Tiquan Underwood time.

I can feel it in my bones. Gonna be a breakout game for him. 6-125 and 2 TD's. He'll then be released on Monday (and likely resigned on Friday).

It is what it is

It is a Holiday weekend. I'm sure a lot of "hamstring" injuries are seen across the nfl on Fridays such as these.

The players are hustling too much to get the Black Friday deals. Stretch before you shop!

he was spotted at his locker after practice packing his travelling bag. I think he'll play sunday.

its abit troubling though that most all of our WR's are limited in practice

Most Patriots WRs are limited during the games, too.

Veterans missing a day at practice here and there ...

if that is shocking to someone you simply have not been paying attention.

Makes '0' sense to cut Chad ... none at all at this point.

For players to miss a Friday practice is significant as far as gameplan installations go. Rarely do you see players missing Friday practices on this team that go on to play on Sunday excepting "must play" players.

why is a multimillionaire out shopping on Black Friday

Last year, he couldn't even pay for some of his credit card bills.

Has there been a week yet where he is a significant part of the game plan? Unless someone gets injured what we see now will be what we see the rest of the year from Chad. As insurance policies go IMO he's a very decent one.

You people are ALL wrong. He drove the bus again to pick up Moss
