Ben Watson (1 Viewer)

I'm still waiting to hear more on this, but for now . . .

Mike Reiss of the Globe: Watson was not present for the media-access portion of practice today, which some might see as a bad sign, or one in which he experienced a setback. I haven't heard that, and based on the limited bit that I saw from practice Wednesday and Thursday, I think he will be playing Sunday.It caught my eye because you don't know if he had a setback. But at this point of the week, the game-plan is in, the major planning is over, and you're just touching up some loose ends. So it's also possible he's just getting some extra rest. I still think he plays.

Call me crazy but I'm going with Yudkin over Rotoworld on this one. With no access to change my lineup after I make this move I'm starting Watson. Truth be told I don't actually have any better options, but I do value Yudkin's in-sight.

David can you throw out a probability/gut on this at some point over the weekend? Won't hold ya to it, but just want to see if I should the roll the dice. Everyone should realize that as well.... Yudkin can say the odds are 5 out of 6 he plays.... but still means a 'snake eye' can come up... but would be good to know what we're dealing with from a risk perspective.

I'll give my buddy another half hour and then I am out of town until next week (he's proably at happy hour somewhere in Indy).Even though the injury report says 50/50, I still think he'll play. And here's why (at least in my reading of the Patriots tea leaves). Other Pats had unexpected days off this week, so my thinking is that Bill wanted guys to rest up for game day. Certainly they will not need any motivation to get pumped up for their opponent this week. Another interesting note is that he's been giving players some time off or has limited practice (he had a walk through in t-shirts and shorts before the Miami game). Several other guys put in limited weeks prior to the Skins game as well. Maybe we are seeing a kindler, gentler Bill Belichick this year (at least for his players).I'd say 85-90% chance Watson plays. I personally don't think he aggravated his injury and at this point they wanted him to take the last practice off (but as we all know anything is possible). FWIW, I count three guys from the Boston Globe saying he'll play. Local media should ALWAYS trump national media and on-line wire reports and player news tickers.In other news, Asante Samuel was not sick, hurt, or otherwise unplayable for practice earlier in the week so he is 100% for Sunday's game.

:confused:
 
As a precaution, I am thinking about picking up someone from a late game to have in case Watson does not play. But if Watson is active on Sunday, I am definitely playing him.

I think LJ Smith is available and he plays on Sunday night. Zach Miller from Oak would also be a guy that plays at 430 on Sun.....

:popcorn:
Yes indeed. Thanks for the thoughts. I'll give him a whirl in one league, bench him in another (little hedge strategy). At least Bob Sanders won't tackle him from behind, and roll under his legs bull-rider style. (save it Cowboys fans)
 
I here 50/50 chance he plays this week, and given that Kyle Brady got hurt I'd lean toward him playing this week. I'll have a better answer for you later in the week.
David, anything new on Morris?
Likely out until Decemember and talk surfacing of him getting placed on IR.
Where did you get this info from? Where is the link? Who said this? Who are you? Where are you?
:lmao: F'n Noobs Good info as always David. :lmao:
The guy doesn't know any better. If it was explain to him civilly that DY is connected, then everyone is happy. No, instead you do this. YOU, icon, are part of the problem.

2 downgraded

By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

The Patriots downgraded S Eugene Wilson (ankle) and ILB Eric Alexander (knee) to out on their injury report.

That means TE Benjamin Watson (ankle), who practiced on Wednesday and Thursday, has a chance to suit up in Sunday's game against the Colts.

Also, OLB Mike Vrabel (shoulder) and S Mel Mitchell (groin) -- who both were on the team's injury report this week -- are in the mix to play.

 
DaTruth can you update the title esp re Asante? I'm imagining Wayne or Harrison owners looking for Asante info tomorrow

What's the latest on Ben Watson? Seems like he'll be active but how much will he really play?

Watson on field

By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

It is still a good 2 hours and 30 minutes before kickoff but TE Benjamin Watson, in shorts and a long-sleeve t-shirt, is on the RCA Dome field jogging.

Watson, who has missed the last two games with a left ankle injury, is questionable on the injury report. He spent some time speaking with tight ends coach Pete Mangurian, and then began catching passes.
