Rapoport: Mayo in good spirits, tells teammate injury is "nothing serious"

[LoganMankinsPancakeBlocks]

But here is what I do know. Mayo was in “good spirits” at halftime, according to one teammate. The player told me Mayo seemed, “OK.” Later, Mayo was asked by another teammate how he’s doing.

“He said, ‘It’s nothing serious,‘ ” a player told me, recounting his conversation with Mayo.

Does this mean Mayo is fine? No. But this is what he was telling people…

Maybe my lip reading needs work, but did anyone else see BB spout "Damn", in one of the camera closeups, when he saw Mayo was injured? I think Patriots Nation was collectively thinking that as well.

The forecast for BB press conferences this week is cloudy with a chance of heavy subterfuge.

 

[signbabybrady]

I'm assuming out for the year and I will be happily surprised if it's otherwise.

yea, well, lets hope its something very NOT serious

 

[pats63]

Let us hope so...Mayo means so much for this defense...Man what about Merriweather play tonite...He is just a beast we need for this team....GO PATS!!!!!

 

[ctpatsfan77]

I'm going to take the cautiously optimistic route:

If he were severely injured, I'm guessing BB wouldn't have even allowed him to talk to anyone, much the same way that you couldn't find Gostkowski with a GPS device and a grizzly bear in the week before his first playoff game against the Colts.

There goes Todd Light running his mouth to reporters again.

 

[bbell31]

im guessing sprained or strained ligament, hyperextension..definitely not a torn ligament tho from the looks of it..

 

[patsfan-1982]

Yeah i saw it too. he must've thought the same thing as we all did: knee injury to one of our key players in the first quarter of the first game. We gotta give alot of credit to our defense, which stepped up big time. Meriweather great, corners didn't give up many big plays and at the end of the game we seemed to create some pressure. We still need Mayo though, so i'm hoping he's back soon.

I'm an optimist typically, but if he's out for the year our chances of winning the SB are zero% unless Steve Nelson comes walking through that door.

 

[italian pat patriot]

let's hope so...Mayo is now surely a top player in our defense
