Patriots Injury News DB Marcellas Dial & DT Jacquelin Roy to the IR

[Pape]

Dial tore his ACL... that's a shame - he is an improving player, not there yet, but was doing well in camp, least in my opinion... looking to built on the reps he got in the Buffalo game... with both Gonzo and Davis nursing some stuff, it is a good time for guys who don't get many reps with the 1's to get a bit of experience... hope he makes a full recovery...

Not sure what happened to Roy... maybe he re-injured his foot? Hate to lose rotational depth along the DL... thats a stout unit, want to keep a decent rotation going... despite being a rotational player, this will hurt a wee bit as well

Is it just me, or are players dropping like flies in this training camp, prior to even the first exhibition preseason game?

yup... certainly seems like it... not just here, but across the league...

Seems about the usual to me. There’s always some. That’s why first week or two of camp are way premature to go projecting rosters and cuts.

4 guys to IR in the first 2 weeks of camp doesn't seem normal to me..

...only to be replaced by ****ing less-than-useless ****ing stiffs EVEN WORSE than Dial & Roy already were. Un-****ing-believable.

It makes no difference who plays in the last 3 quarters of the pre-season. We need bodies out there.

How many quarters do we expect starters to play.

I suspect that almost all roster decisions are already made, although the scrimmage against MIN could be important if there are last minute evaluations to be made.

no, they are usually kept out and decisions are made in the couple of days before the final cut. After all, 8 players can come back from IR.

The worst tackle ATTEMPT I'VE EVER SEEN, was Roy last year, I can't even scrub that BS from my brain.
