Hogan's Injury Leaves Patriots In Tough Shape Heading Into the Bye

[RobertWeathers]

Any word on the MRI?

Kenbrell Thompkins is a FA....at least he has familiarity with the system.

Interesting point.

Hopefully Dorsett could put up some Keyshawn Martin-like production if called upon.

No injury report due to the Bye. You'll probably have to wait until next week.

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

IF it's a Grade 1 sprain it 2-4 weeks if its a Grade 3 then he could be done for the season being an athlete and all.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo.....................what if it's grade 2?

The team doesn't need to disclose much unless they decide to give up the roster spot. OUT doesn't tell us much.

5-12 weeks....

Josh gordon needs to apply for reinstatement. I'd trade a late rd pick for him.

 

[kennyb]

That rookie from northwestern would look good about now.

I think he means from the mediots. If it was bad I think we wouldve heard something on the twitterverse by now

I think we won’t hear anything until after the trade deadline if B.B. has any say in it. If it’s as bad as I predict you don’t want to look desperate to your trade partner, it’s cutthroat

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

This is good news.....

Well Reche Caldwell is in prison but his brother Andre Caldwell got released from the Lions............

 

[VegasGuy]

What a relief!

Watching the replay, it looks like he definitely has an AC Sep and probably has damaged the ligaments in there as well. The good thing is that this can be repaired but the bad thing is, it’s going to take some time. I don’t like being all doom and gloom but he’s done for the season.

Did the Holiday Inn have a comfortable bed last night?

LOL well played...but maybe a bit early! I'll believe that tweet when Hogan suits up. Two things to think of. First, did you see his reaction to treatment on the sideline or his mobility? The tweet makes it sound like he couldn't tolerate the pain...which...it's Hogan we are talking about and he's never been reported to have a low pain threshold. The second thing is the timing of coming out with anything prognosis-wise while they are trying to wheel and deal. If he is indeed lost for the season (which I still reluctantly believe) then it puts NE in a dire need for replacement and the value of those caliber players just went through the roof! Let's see what comes of this. On the plus-side of this, absolute worst case, he goes through a reconstruction, which unlike other joints, can get him another 10 years along with added durability depending on the procedure ie; fiber wire over cadaver ligaments. I've endured this for both shoulders.

 

[bormio]

He was hit directly on the shoulder, but in the most protected position possible - arm close into the body. His shoulder was not yanked or torqued. Shoulder injuries hurt a lot, it takes the imaging to sort out the severity. And most heal without surgery - he is not a baseball pitcher.

Nice call. Thanks for weighing in. How are you at predicting weather?

The Real Thing is still available, if you're interested.

Dorsett should be good now considering the paltry amount of snaps he's been getting because of our WR Dept Chart. I think if he gets over 40 snaps we'll see a different player with good results.

In week-2 @NOL, Dorsett caught 3 for 3 for 68 yards and had an end-around for 7 yards in 32 snaps.
