C Bryan Stork and new DT Khyri Thornton are missing from Patriots practice.

I'm starting to get Mike Wright flashbacks.

The line is not very good without Stork in it. Hoping he get healthy for most of the season.

 

[TBR]

Assuming it's concussion related (again) I have a feeling this will continue to linger and keep him out of games every now & then

Crap

 

[jboston19]

Yeah, won't see him Thursday.

Jeff Howe said a few days ago he was told Stork cleared his concussion protocol a while ago

Any game Stork misses will worry me. I'm worried about THU's OL without him. Source says he still plans to play, but I dunno. Wendell : I like him more than most on here, but he's no Stork (plus if Wendy's at centre, does Mason get exposed at LG ? And what of Solder ? He is night/day with a vet next to him vs a rookie).

 

[Mike the Brit]

Yes, I'm very worried. A young guy who has had concussion before, missing a lot of time at the start of his second season is a very bad sign. It's bad for the Patriots (he and Wendell going to guard transformed the O-line last year) but, more importantly, it's bad for Brian Stork.

Pretty concerned, the line is very different with him ar C and only 1 rookie starting. IMP he was on his way to becoming an all pro C, this could derail his career.

Bryan Stork still plans to play Thursday, per source. He has missed the last two practices, though.

 

[Tunescribe]

d%#*!@t, every year there are injury problems with the offensive line. You just can't have enough good offensive linemen. Connolly already is missed and the season hasn't started yet.

 

[RobertWeathers]

There is nothing good about missing practices.

Stork is a tough SOB. Hope he can play Thursday and whatever the reason for him being out is not long-term.

 

[FourierSeries]

No. He will play and he will be fine.

 

[BTTA]

No. He will play and he will be fine.

Well, glad that is resolved.

 

[PatsBoy12]

I'm starting to get concerned just overall. He missed time last season and has already had to miss time this TC and preseason. But it does sound as though he won't be ready to go on Thursday night. We'll see.

 

[FourierSeries]

Well, glad that is resolved.

You're welcome.

 

[The Gr8est]

Let's see what body part is mentioned when the injury report comes out.

Hope it's not the squash...would not be good.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Always worried when a starter misses the first practice before a game.

However this team isn't the only one with significant injuries to their center or oline.They just have to make due with what they got like everyone else does.

According to Mike Petraglia, Stork is in concussion protocol. One practuice

Mike Petraglia reports that Brian Stork in concussion protocol. If Stork cannot get thru one practice
without getting a concussion, I would say the Patriots have a problem at center.

 

[VectorPrime]

We get one of the big steals in the draft last year with Bryan Stork, a mauling dominant center that we imagined being the cornerstone of the offensive line for the next decade. So of course he gets hurt in arguably the worst way possible in training camp putting a dark cloud over his future. Typical.
