Lawrence Maroney ruled OUT this Sunday (1 Viewer)

Per ESPN.

The injury is obviously worse than we thought.

I am editing this title because apparently this is an unconfirmed report as of now. I saw Maroney was OUT for this Sundays game per the ESPN scroll this morning. Perhaps that information was inaccurate.

Sorry for any confusion

The good news is it's only the Bills. The bad news is the Patriots will be without their best WR, RB and LB in a game they're "supposed to win".

 
Wow, move Dillon up in all the late FF drafts. With N.E. you never know how bad someone is hurt, as the coaching staff leaks nothing on injuries.

 
I hate to see this, but it will give me a free roster move as I can now move Maroney to the IR this week.

I did that yesterday in a draft. Something is not right about Maroney. And as usual, they're being tight lipped about it. I guess the good news is Maroney isn't on the PUP or IR. Yet. I guess we have to assume it's only a sprain at this point.

Until we hear more information, how bad can it really be being out one week? If it was a serious problem with the knee (i.e. ACL tear), we certainly would have known about it by now. Not to say I don't know BB's history of playing injuries close to the vest, but assuming it's not ACL related, I'm not overly worried. Besides, Dillon has certainly proven he can handle the load on his own - though whether he can last a full season is now up for debate. Dillon being the unquestioned running back for the Pats for week one doesn't make me much more worried on Maroney. My take is that it's just the Pats being safe with their first round pick.
 
Let's think about this logically.

How many people were actually counting on Maroney to contribute to their team on week 1? If you were, you have bigger problems than Maroney being out.

I drafted Maroney with the thought that he would take over in the last half of the year and have plenty of depth in front of him. I am not sweating this at all......right now.

 
So injury reports are out WED and he gets ruled OUT on Monday???? By who, ESPN? I don't doubt that he very well might be out, but it does seem odd.

Adam Shefter reported he heard Maroney was day to day, and not too serious. I'm hoping that is the case, and the Pats want the kid to get completely healthy for the inevitable Dillon breakdown.

Agreed. If anything it makes it easier for me as I have Dillon and Maroney handcuffed. Now I won't have to fret about whether or not to start Maroney as my flex...not that I was leaning towards it anyway...

As a Maroney owner, I wasn't planning on starting him week 1. My concern is that with Belicheck controlling the information, we simply do not know , and likely will not know, the extent of the injury.Could it be something serious that lingers all year? Maybe. All we know is that it appears worse than first believed by many,

Not everyone plays in leagues where 20 or 24 rb's will be in starting lineups each week. My league will have at least 32 rb's in starting lineups this week. So, yes, if Maroney was healthy there is a chance he could have been in a starting lineup this week and it wouldn't have been unusual.
 
Also, if the injury was severe, it wouldn't make any sense to trade Patrick Cobbs. This has been said before, but I think it is logical to conclude that the injury can't be that serious.

I don't think this matters. It's not like they left the cupboard bear. They still do have Kevin Faulk.
 
Patriots | Maroney will miss Week 1

ESPN's SportsCenter reports New England Patriots RB Laurence Maroney (leg) is OUT for the team's Week 1 game.

a couple of seasons ago they said deion branch was day to day. He was out for 10 weeks and they never told us what was wrong with him

 
Pats homer here. There is obv. a massive post about this on a Pats board I frequent. As far as I can tell, someone said it was reported on the ESPN bottomline, but no local beat writers have anything in their blogs.

It was later removed from the Bottomline; however, not before it was picked up by KFFL, who is now saying ESPN reports Maroney out week 1.

So I'm not sure whats going on, but I'm not freaking out.

Yet.,

This is EXACTLY why people should be concerned. Could be nothing and Maroney will be good to go week 2, or it could be something that keeps him out most of the season -- BB is so closed mouthed about player injuries there's no way to know.
 
We'll just have to take it week to week. If it was "serious", the Pats would have the option to place him on the PUP list and get him back by week 6, but they haven't done that. This implies a mild to moderate injury that will keep him out anywhere from only this week (if the report is accurate) to 4 or 5 weeks.

BB can't be scared of this game with the Bills, and he's got to like his chances to win with Dillon back there anyway, so I'm not ready to hit the panic button just yet regarding Maroney.

Report: Maroney out for Week 1

Posted by Albert Breer at 11:58 am

ESPN is reporting that rookie RB Laurence Maroney will miss this Sunday’s opener against Buffalo with a knee injury. The severity of the injury is still not known and Maroney was seen walking without a limp through the locker room today.

If Maroney's injury was serious, BB and Pats would be crazy to trade Patrick Cobbs who looked awesome in preseason. Kevin Faulk has always been and will always be a third down back--he can't carry a full load. BB knows this and would want another back. Plus, if it were really serious, wouldn't the Pats have put Maroney on the PUP list?

:goodposting: I keep coming back to the Cobbs trade. It makes no sense if Maroney were expected to miss a lot of time.
 
Pantagrapher, cool pics dude. You've got a really good eye. While waiting for an update on Maroney, you guys should check them out--their in his sig.

The Cobbs trade has no bearing on this. He was buried on the depth chart. The Pat's felt the guys they have on the roster were better than Cobbs.

Including an injured Maroney?
 
I would think Corey Dillon owners are happy.

It was asked how the Bills run defense is this season...IMO they along with most of the Bills defense will be below average.

I thought the PUP list wasn't an option because he's passed his training camp physical? If he is hurt badly, the Pats' options are either IR or deactivating him each week from the 53-man.
 
Until Maroney is declared inactive on gameday I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of BBs mouth.

Found this on Rotoworld's player update page today for those that are interested...............

Laurence Maroney (knee) returned to practice Monday.

ESPN reported this morning that Maroney would miss Week 1, but the first-round pick ran with no limp at practice Monday. He did wear a knee brace. We'll get a better idea of whether Maroney will play in the opener when the offical injury report is released on Wednesday.

Maroney at practice

Posted by Albert Breer at 1:20 pm

RB Laurence Maroney was back at practice today for the first time since the Redskins game. He wore a brace on his left knee and ran without a limp, though he did seem to be stretching it out quite a bit. So maybe, contradictory to the earlier report, he isn’t quite on the shelf yet.

Here’s some more from the media period of practice:

– DE Ty Warren, LB Tedy Bruschi, OT Nick Kaczur and WR Chad Jackson weren’t there for the 15 minutes we were.

– TE David Thomas, again, was wearing a red non-contact jersey with no number.

– Speaking of Thomas’ number, the Patriots roster showed earlier that both he and newly-acquired WR Doug Gabriel would share 86. That, of course, isn’t the case. Gabriel’s been outfitted in No. 85.

Are we sure it was Maroney? Possibly a guy who looks like Maroney, wearing his uniform as a decoy. :tinfoilhat:

Practice notes

Some notes from today's Patriots practice, which was held outside on the lower field behind the stadium:

* Players not present included receiver Chad Jackson, inside linebacker Tedy Bruschi, offensive tackle Nick Kaczur and defensive end Ty Warren.

* Rookie tight end David Thomas wore a red, non-contact jersey.

* The media was present for stretching and one set of individual drills. On one play, rookie running back Laurence Maroney went the wrong way on a handoff attempt by quarterback Tom Brady.

* New receiver Doug Gabriel looked smooth while running through the team's four-cone drill and caught every pass, while the team's other new receiver, Jonathan Smith, had two dropped passes.
