At last, a reassuring injury update that we need to hear

yeah, participating in the warm up doesn't mean he's going to practice or play on sunday

After the Solder news, I'll take it.

Geez, I'm not sure that picture gives me any confidence.

I hope that he's laughing and not grimacing there while his left hand is going up towards his rib area.

The fact that he is not on IR is reassuring. The Solder news hurts, but if we are forced to lose one - HT is the one I want healthy.

Oh absolutely. No question about that

Rib injuries are the worst. Dude is freaking tough as nails. Exudes linebacker.

 

[Tuck]

I'll be the plays. He played the stretch run last year with a torn labrum. The guy's a warrior.

It's Colts week, right? I say give him the time if he needs it.

Nothing (unless its catastrophic) is going to stop the Patriots this week.

I'm really hoping Flowers is NE's version of 2007 Justin Tuck.

EDIT: This was a comparison made due to faulty memory. Sorry for the confusion it caused.

Right now, he's Ras I Dowling.

Right now, he's Ras I Dowling.

I didn't know he was already put on IR.

No, but 'you can't make the club in the tub'.

.....and I DID write "right now".

Hell, I would like to see him actually just get on the field.

I hope he will be all that PFF said he will be (one of this year's draft steals).

We have 2 of PFF's "top 10 draft steals". One is already IR'ed.

Hmmmm... I apologize, I must have gotten Tuck confused with someone else. I would have sworn that he was a rookie in 2007 who missed the early portion of the season and came on strong during the back half. That was what I was going for in the analogy, not Flowers being an immediate stud.

I don't think the Dowling comparison is all that applicable, but clearly my initial error is what started us down this road.

Yeah, he looks hurt to me.

Ok, gotcha.

Impossible to tell.

Official report is that he was "Limited".
