Patriots at Jets: Gameday Injury Report

New England Patriots:

Questionable - Safety Rashad Baker (hand), tight end David Thomas (foot) and defensive end Mike Wright (knee).

Probable - Quarterback Tom Brady (right shoulder).

Could Brady's shoulder really be barking, or is that just another one of Bill Belichick's mind games? You'd think the media would be all over that story if it was anything significant, but the buzz around Brady's shoulder has been quiet.

New York Jets:

Questionable - Running back Thomas Jones (calf), cornerback Andre Dyson (foot), cornerback Justin Miller (thigh), guard Brandon Moore (shoulder) and safety Eric Smith (thigh).

Probable - Tight end Joe Kowalewski (finger), quarterback Chad Pennington (pelvis), defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson (knee), wide receiver Chansi Stuckey (knee) and running back Stacy Tutt (foot).

Although he's listed as questionable, Thomas Jones is expected to start against New England today. That's great news for the Jets, who will need a solid rushing attack this afternoon. Unfortunately, the news in the secondary isn't as promising. Even if Dyson, Miller and Smith play, they will not be 100%.

Man, are you stupid? He has been on the injury list for YEARS now. Way to blow a story out of proportion.

Icheb - Yeah, I must be a complete idiot. In the very piece you copied, it says "one of Bill Belichick's mind games."

Apparently you are unaware of the the way Belichick tools with his injury reports. You never know what's true and what isn't -- which is why I addressed it.

But hey, good call.

Yeah, it's a great mind game when something STAYS THE SAME FOR YEARS. So yes, you in fact are a complete idiot.

By the way, I'm already anticipating next week's edition of Dan Benton's "OMG IS TOM BRADY REALLY INJURED WTF??!?!?". Not to forget all the other weeks until February.

Icheb - Listen to yourself. If Brady is having chronic shoulder problems, then I'm obviously not "making something out of nothing." If he's been injured for years, then yes, it _is_ a big story.

And if not, then it's another Bill Belichick mind game. In both cases, I covered my bases. So how, exactly, am I a complete idiot? Please elaborate.

Rick - Once again, read what I wrote. There is something you're clearly missing. I said it's one of two things:

1) A mind game
2) An actual injury

Now, if Brady is actually on the report for two years, it can only be one of those two things. So, how am I a "moron?"

By the way, do some research before you insult me. A simple google search would have done. I HATE the Red Sox -- I'm a New Yorker and a Yankees fan.
