Patriots WR Brandon Gibson, w/ heavy limp in locker room, had initial tests on injured knee. "Just pray for the best, that's all you can do"

This team has a history of not rushing players during preseason. Rightfully so.

Yup, we will have a dozen or more players on the 53 with almost no preseason reps.

Is that abnormal for the Patriots? Heck, there was a year or two where Brady didn't play at all in preseason.

Gibson tore the Patella in his Left Knee in 2013. His knee injury tonight was to his Right Knee, so it's not related to prior ailments.

Man i hope Gibson is ok. He is very good depth and seems to be doing ok in the offense. With Dobson being unreliable and Boyce still sucking we need Gibson and Harper to come through.

I don't understand why Gibson was on the field for as long as he was. He already should have WR #4
sewn-up. Bill took a really unnecessary risk with him last night.

we ran out of warm bodies

Then use double-TEs & double RBs, and get this kid D'Orazio some snaps.

FWIW, Edelman is not injured. He's close to practicing and I was told he could have easily played last week if it mattered

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but the guys in #1 were injured 3 days ago and no report on even the TYPE of injury has been released, let alone severity.

Yeah, you did.

It was NOT too early to discuss injuries when I started this thread.

Lot of Reggie Wayne chatter during media access to #Patriots locker room. 1 other nugget: My sense is that DE Trey Flowers will be back soon

Well that's great news. He looked great vs GB.

So the players we could see back this week include: Edelman, Flowers, Dobson & Stork. Possible players like LaFell, Jones, Fletcher workout.

Good news about Flowers' outlook.

Was afraid BB might trade Flowers for Algernon.

I think that you've been saving this for awhile.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Actually just thought of it.
No I don't usually drink on weeknights either.

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

Sounds like Rufus Johnson might be back on the field soon....not sure about Fletcher, since he's on the PUP list. Anyone know what happened to him?

Kevin Duffy ?@KevinRDuffy 3h3 hours ago
Dane Fletcher, Rufus Johnson spotted in Pats locker room. Johnson missed last game, Fletcher on PUP.

Thanks a lot Bill. Penny wise and pound foolish, again, to our detriment.
