Foxboro Forum

Word is Brady won’t be playing tomorrow - not that thats a surprise - but it sounds like he’s not even on the East coast. According to the Boston Herald he’s on the West Coast dealing with a ‘personal matter’. No big deal there - Brady’s confident he’ll be playing Week 1. On the injury front there are bigger questions like how is Matt Light? We know he’s been practicing the week but at what level? And is his he ready to contribute? Where is Wes Welker? He’s got a rib injury but not much more information has come out of Foxboro this past week.

Hopefully we’ll get some answers this week about running backs - Kyle Eckel has already been cut - does this mean Laurence Maroney, Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, and Lamont Jordan are sticking around? If the Patriots do I think the depth in the backfield will be a great addition to the air attack.

I don’t know how much more we’ll know about the backup quaterback position - we all know Matt Cassel has had a rough time this preseason but Coach Belichick seems to like him. Hopefully tomorrow night he’ll show us something.
