Astrobot Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Haynesworth, Vollmer, Wright, Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski absent from practice. Haynesworth wasn’t on the field because of a back injury, and with defensive tackle Myron Pryor being placed on injured reserve this week after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, and Mike Wright (concussion) not expected to be available any time soon, DL should only be great instead of fabulous.

Phlegm Alley Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Wow. Friday practice is usually a good indicator of whether or not a player will play on Sunday too. Haynesworth and Gronkowski is particularly interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanInLV Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I BET this is a ploy by Billichek to force the Bills to gameplan around their status. Any time trying to 'figure out' who's actually playing is wasted time. I wouldn't put it past Billichek; remember, Brady was on the weekly injury report a few years ago for the entire season and he was not injured at all.

Doc Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Haynesworth isn't a surprise at all. Just cashin' a check. As for DG being cut, I wonder how RG is taking it? Probably DG's last shot in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY would they cut him and leave them with no other viable TE if Hernandez isn't back? Odd. VERY odd. I'm also trying to figure out why they* would leave themselves* with only one TE - particularly since they* run more multiple TE formation plays than any NFL team. There is no word yet on a corresponding roster move, but the team* could add an offensive lineman for depth now that starting right tackle Sebastian* Vollmer* has been ruled out of Sunday’s game at Buffalo. It’s also possible that the Pats* may need to add a punter if Zoltan* Mesko* is unable to play through a left knee injury. The Pats* also could add a tight end, with practice squad member Garrett* Mills* the most likely candidate. With Aaron* Hernandez* ruled out of Sunday’s game, Dan’s brother, Rob* Gronkowski*, is currently the only active tight end. (Link - Un-Gronk’d: Patriots* release TE Dan Gronkowski) This can only be good news for the Bills, and I may have to revise my original prediction of...
