Seems like he wants to tough it out. Pointless endeavor if he has pain while doing conditioning on the lower field. At best he will end up on IR. Might even just straight retire.. what's the point if you can't even get through conditioning.

I feel for the guy. Young and incredibly talented with a bright NFL career ahead of him. Tough to just turn away from that without giving it your all.

 

[Love The Drake]

Hopefully he has some wheels left.

If you can’t see how a coach would waste a roster spot on a guy in the condition youbthuj he is in, wouldn’t the fact that he is still here lead you to consider you are wrong about the condition you think he is in?

Jesus stop with the stupidity Andy.

There is a difference between the size of the off-season roster and the regular roster. But keep disagreeing with anyone who can see the writing on the wall only to move the goalposts when he is not on the 53 and you will get called out for your contrarian ********.

Oh I feel bad for him as well. But my point is that a "mystery" knee issue is not something you can just tough out. The only way he will ever return to football is if they finally find out what's wrong and are able to fix it or at least alleviate it substantially. And none of this seems likely in the shortterm.

Hmm

 

[long distance]

add a handsome contract for Decker and the beats can have their day full..

 

[luuked]

Hmm

One step after the other. The team was not patient with him until now to just throw him immediately into the mix.

 

[Love The Drake]

Rooting for Britt.

 

[long distance]

So, that leaves only JJ, Cy Jones, and Ebner on PUP?

Is Bolden still on NFI?

Bolden's off awhile. The 3 remain..

Didn't see the transaction go by. Rostermon is usually pretty good with that stuff.

 

[long distance]

Lets go, honey nut!

I am glad sony michel’s ok but the guy has a history with injuries. I hope it doesn’t become contagious with him.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Guess it's over.

 

[long distance]

sounds like preparing for first preseason game to me
(seeing who of 3rd stringers gets how many reps.. before going into game week)

IDK. I'm concerned for him that his injury might not be minor. If it is minor, I'd rather the Pats be overcautious in managing it, especially at this relatively early stage of Camp. Maybe that slows his development a bit, but that's okay by me. Better that than a redshirt rookie season that might be avoided.

Unlike many others, I'm really not expecting him to take the "lead back" role immediately beginning in week-1 of the regular season, and I don't think the team really needs him to. I think he's more of a long term investment, though I'll be a little disappointed if he's not making some big noise, at least occasionally, by the second half of the season.

No way BB will let Michel be a lead back at least at the beginning of the season. I know he is a first round shot but his injury ( we do not how serious it is ), fumbling issues and moderate BB's attitude towards rookies seem to think Sony will be improving himself as a player this season. I have great expectations of this kid but I doubt we are so desperate to use him immediately.

Decker moving in quickly after signing 2M contract..
