Mitchell returns.

Pinch me...pinch me.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Who is he replacing?
My guess would be someone going to IR?

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

So he's actually in pads? Wow this would be huge. Interesting to see what happens. Who will be cut? Britt?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Britt is not going to be the cut for sure.
Dorsett if it is a receiver.
But I'd rather hold on to them all for injury situations.
I'd go more Brandon king or Geno Grissom to practice squad.
Gave up his number and spot on the 53.
Maybe Pitt should sign him so he can have a revenge gams against us.

They don't have to release anyone until he is activated. They have a 3 week window.

 

[PatsFan2]

Offense would be fixed in the short and intermediate routes department. The ones Cooks ain't built for. So would Mitchell be eligible to play in our First Playoff Game??

He can play anytime after he is activated.

King is the team's 2nd best ST player and integral with Ebner out. Why would the Pats cut him over someone like Grigsby or Croston?

 

[PatsFan2]

The last time a WR came back after being out so long was WR Vincent Brisby many moons ago in the SB.

He can be activated at any time.

Really good news....we'll see if he gets activated this week.

I'd suppose that depends on Hogan's availability. If he's good to go, the Pats don't need another speedster/deep threat so Dorsett becomes expendable. If he's not, they'll likely hang on to Dorsett and cut Britt.

I wouldn't get too excited. You can't be any rustier than Mitchell is right now. Maybe after a couple weeks of practice, he'll be in practice, but not game shape. I wish this happened a few weeks ago, The Jet game would've been the perfect game for him to play in.

If they use the full three weeks wouldn't that be AFC-CG??

When your 32+ PPG offense doesn’t play it’s first game until the playoffs. Muahahaha.

They don't have to use 3 weeks. If he is not activated before 3 weeks he reverts back to IR. Could play Sunday.

He can be activated for the Jete game. Both he and Hogan have considerable amounts of rust they need to shed.

I agree, there is no substitute for game speed. Impossible to practice or get ready for. He’ll be limited for sure.

It Hogan didn't aggravate his injury against Miami and both he and Mitchell can play, they should play some snaps this weekend.
