Well. It would be good to see the team with him and Carlson at full strength. We will need them for the back 9

Would like to see him on the field consistently so we can figure out if he's a keeper. I think he is but we haven't seen much yet.

**singersp** · 10-13-2012, 07:42 AM

If he's not on the field, he's not helping the team.

I think he is going to play, this is just injury report shenanigans now.

I don't mind... This makes resigning him easier. Can't resign without the big stats.... Then draft a WR so its Simpson, Harvin and Woods

Can't understand why teams even do that. I doubt coaches even pay attention to it outside the obvious "won't be playing due to injury" ones. Doesn't or didn't Bellichek have Brady listed as "questionable" every week or every week during a particular year(s)?

i think they do this
1. if they don't list something and it shows up as a problem it's a no no in the fine happy nfl.
2. i'm sure there are DC's and OC's that review these lists to gameplan around them
3. coaches use everything they have to win.. if they can smokescreen some one.. then why not try.

other then that it's media fodder for those mid week stories where they can't think of anything else to write about except the.. "Drama of the injury!!"

Yeah, every week right up to the game he blew his knee out in.
