Not sure if this was changed, but on the #Patriots website Brandon Browner and Brian Tyms aren't listed as suspended.
The next Tweet he made states that he doesn't know if that has always been the case but in previous seasons the team has had a "suspended" list when appropriate. Hopefully it means both are free to rejoin the team.
If we have 55 players on the roster, its safe to assume that Tyms and Browner are still "suspended".
If HGH use is even half as prevalent in the league as many suspect it to be (with good reason), this rule could have a serious impact on the NFL. More injuries, more time missed for those injuries, etc..Call me crazy, but I'm not a fan of the HGH testing that was just agreed upon. Reduced recovery time for major injuries is a good thing, in my book.
I understand the argument against it: it's enough of an advantage that some players will feel compelled to use it, even with the effects of long-term use still largely unknown and potentially harmful. But I think the era of nine-month ACL recoveries is just about over.
Also, F&M were adamant today that Browner will NOT be eligible for a shoretened suspension - they emphasized this several times
Not sure, but good point. Probably a worthless post on my part without one - hopefully they wouldn't put this out there without a reasonable amount of confidenceAnd their source was?
It doesn't help Peyton so I doubt he gets his suspension lifted.
Seriously, if either suspension is for pot, then the new higher threshold should apply. So if they aren't reinstated, I think we can safely assume that the suspension wasn't for pot, or they tested above the new higher limit.
It would be nice to get them back. Another question is what happens to the roster exemption? Do you have to cut someone?
Maybe the Vikings should get first in line for him.According to my sources Ricky Williams is strongly considering a comeback. Should we kick the tires?
Absolutely agree. Browner's return does nothing to help Peyton win another ring, so he'll prolly be forced to keep sitting out the whole 4 weeks.
