As long as Brady isn't listed with that elbow issue, I'm good.

 

[Sicilian]

No one really unexpected on that list. Many are on there with injuries they played with against the Cowboys. Not bad.

 

[Big-T]

Wouldn't at all be surprised if all of them minus Barrett & Fletcher played.

thumbs down to all the thumb injuries.

I think Fletch might have had surgery on the thumb. Only reason he will miss practice. I hope he keeps his cardio up so he does not fall too far behind.

 

[Modest]

I hope Mayo plays. He and the reborn Spikes will be quite a sight to see together along with an in shape Haynesworth.

thumbs down to all the thumb injuries.

I was wondering why all the thumb injuries?

All defense guys -> attempt interceptions of Tom Terrific in practice at yer own risk.

Exactly my thoughts. It's not like it can get any worse when he's wearing that cast, so they must have made it worse on purpose in order to help it heal.

All in all this is good news. Most of the team is relatively healthy and, more than likely, Bodden, AH, Law Firm are being limited as precautionary measures. Further, we have Faulk and Deaderick ready to start playing. Also:

- Downling practiced two weeks in a row and seemingly must be close to returning. We need him to come back and continue the promising play he started the season with.
- Same with Volmer though his actual return seems highly uncertain.
- Mayo will likely return by next week.
- Too bad about Fletcher as he is a positive force in the LB corp. Hopefully he will be available for the crunch time of the final 5 or 6 weeks.
