I'm curious why the Pats haven't added a WR/returner to their roster since Thursday's game.
We don't have enough info to know. It could just be for a certain drill they want him working on, for example if you are transitioning from DE to LB why not run drills with the safeties to work on coverage. It could be working with the safeties during the portion of practice where the safeties are playing up, in more of a LB-ish position.Wonder what's with Grissom and the safeties. Do the Saints have a 265-pound safety that he's pretending to be?
OK, so understand whatever NFL player, any of them, that was in Amendolas place and got hit in the head on that punt return would be in concussion protocol and not practicing today.Amêndola couldn't survive one ****ing game as the slot receiver and punt returner.
I'm "glad" this happened in week one so it's a pretty clear message he can't do both.

Amendola may indeed be made of glass, but getting hit in the head and getting a concussion, is not an issue with the individual player and his injury proneness, anyone taking that hit would be on the sidelines today.

Ayers seems like a no brainer, but sometimes players lose a lot in 2 years, and he hasn't exactly set the world on fire since leaving.Of that group, I would think Jeremy Ross and Akeem Ayers would be most likely to get signed.

True.
Are you suggesting that Amendola won't be kept out longer because this is 3rd concussion rather than his first?
I don't think there is any difference in the NFL protocol between your first or third concussion if there is enough time in between. I mean his last concussion was in 2013 so it is not like this is a common issue for him and as Andy said.. if you get a knee to the head the way he did there is most probably a 8/10 chance that anyone would suffer that concussion.. having history or not.
