Patriots have signed veteran DL Ricky Jean-Francois

[supafly]

Well, we needed a backup DT until Valentine can come back, if he can.

Or if the position of WR is deemed as a larger need.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I hope we can get both valentine and mitchell back. We could use both.

Shea not coming back, looks like its VV and MM

Why do you say that about McClellin? Because he missed practice today? Did I miss some news? Maybe they’re bringing him back slowly.

6' 3" 313 LBS Valentine not coming back?

Two new DTs at practice today, so I’m thinking that his status of returning may be in jeopardy.

Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
Shea McLellin suffered a setback in practice while trying to return from injured reserve. Was placed on IR due to concussion, per source.

Jeez, that’s terrible, especially for a concussion.

Man that sucks! At this point it wouldn't shock me if we get nobody back and that would hurt a lot. I was hoping to get two of those guys back at least. We have been really screwed with the injuries.

Maybe end of his Patriots or even NFL career.

One thing is for sure some way some how James Oshaunnesy is responsible for this injury.
I will be seriously pissed if Malcolm Mitchell is damaged beyond repair.
He was looking like a real find.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

You realize he last played on the 49ers back in 2012 when they made the Super Bowl.

Yeah, but that was because of Kaepernick

Yikes!

The bacon donut man owns 30 Dunkin Donuts - that's the most exciting thing about Ricky

Well I saw somewhere he feels ready but he hasn't gotten the clear. We could use Mitchell for the short stuff. The intermediate routes. I think he would improve our 3rd down efficiency.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

This year's André Carter (the first time around)?

***TED WASHINGTON II ***

 

[dannydyn]

Can Kaepernick play DT?

 

[AvocadoIceCream]

Just by title alone, that's not a who's who of stalwart defenses. But, BB knows players and how to make use of their talents (and all NFL players have talent).

Yeah like Mingo?

I was concerned at the beginning of this year that there were no LSU Tigers to make the team. Every Super Bowl of the TB/BB era has had at least one token Tiger. Heck the third Bowl in 2005 we had SIX Tigers...SIX.

Now, Faulk aside, I do realize that they all pretty much sucked, but we're talking superstition here.

He may not see the field at all, but a significant signing none the less.

Works for me.

Whoa whoa whoa Jarvis Green and Blue Gay were clutch performers! To say nothing of one of the great forgotten Brady backups, Rohan Davey

 

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Ricky Jean is not my lover, but he was indeed a decent rotational d-lineman for their extremely talented defenses during the Harbaugh years. I think he was a little slimmer then, but hopefully he can come in and provide some good snaps to keep Brown/Branch/Butler fresh.
