Depends when he had the surgery. Sounds like it was right after the Championship game. If true, the sling would be off by now with rotator cuff surgery, usually 4-6 weeks.

Good point. Didn't see when the surgery happened when I first read the article. You're right.

Just found this. Sounds promising.

As a Maroney owner, I don't like vague comments like "expected to be fully recovered in time for the 2007 season". I'd prefer to hear that Maroney will be fully recovered in, say 4-6 weeks. But I guess the important thing is that he'll be ready to play week 1.

Was there any new news after the draft regarding this? Maroney is definitely one of those RB's I enjoyed watching last season. I was hoping he was going to carry a much larger load with Dillon gone. I never like shoulder injuries though. Not on a back who knows how to deliver a blow. I somehow would actually feel better about the situation if he has already rehab a similar injury in the past.
Did Maroney have an injury-prone flag prior to this surgery?

Today in FBG's daily mail... Doesn't sound very good... 
NE - RB Maroney Does Not Test Shoulder At Softball Game
Source: Karen Guregian, Boston Herald
Ms. Guregian reports that while attending Kevin Faulk's celebrity softball tournament, Maroney was being careful with both shoulders, signing autographs left-handed while underhanding the softball right-handed. Of course, it's not prudent to read too much into it. Under the Patriots' cloak of medical secrecy you never know what he's been prescribed by doctors or head coach Bill Belichick.
Maroney was at the game and was smiling and playful but did not participate in the action. He was the umpire.
Several times when balls got past the catcher, he'd pick it up, and roll it back to the pitcher on the ground, or simply hand it to the catcher to throw back. One inning, when he was left to warm up the pitcher, he tossed the ball back underhand.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
When asked how his shoulder was responding to offseason surgery, Maroney gave the expected, "No comment" reply.
A few weeks ago, he did offer a little more: "My shoulder's doing good right now," Maroney said. "We're rehabbing it, getting the stretching back and basically just getting the strength back in it."
Although not being able to toss a softball over hand and using your left hand to sign autographs doesn't sound too good right now. Stay tuned.

Just because he didn't dosn't mean he wasn't able to...it just means he chose not to.

Remember when Robert Edwards played in that rookie game? I don't think the Patriots want to have a team sponsored activity where they ask their star running back to put stress on his recovering shoulder.

So nothing to worry about? :(
I think he is a risky pick in initial dynasty drafts because you will have to spend a top 10 pick on him...

With the way that Belichek is, if he had the slightest reserve that Maroney's shoulder was a problem, I think we all know damn well he would have drafted a RB or brought in a FA.
The simple fact that he didn't puts me at ease.
And NO...Sammy is not gonna all of a sudden be a FF God!

Hi WP,That's probably the best "evidence" I can think of for reasons not to worry.Now maybe he's ambidestrous but signing a bunch of autographs with my non writing hand is definitely not something I'd do if there wasn't a reason not to. We'll see soon enough.J

There is no incentive at all. I don't think there is any deception going on here. I think they're being cautious with a player who is rehabbing from a shoulder surgery. There's still a risk of him reinjuring it. Hopefully that risk is gone in two months when they get to training camp. I haven't heard anything to suggest it won't be.

I agree with Joe. The autograph thing is certainly not good news for Maroney. It's not necessarily bad news - there's three and a half months until the season starts - but I'd like to see him 100% right now, and he clearly isn't.

But he still did bring in a FA RB and that RB may prove to be an improvement over Dillon.

In the words of Lee Corso - "Not so fast my friend".Lets not make him a second rounder just yet, but I think there may be some value in Sammy this year.

Is it just me, or does it seem that with Dillon out of the picture, and Moroney's injury (he also left a few games last year, if you recall) does it seem that New England is alittle thin at RB? I mean, don't get me wrong, their passing attack is gonna be something in 2007, but the running game? Kevin Faulk isnt the answer...

How can you NOT be concerned about this.
Granted, its still early, but as a Maroney owner, I am not happy that he is not even signing his name with his right hand. Even if he is fine for the start of training camp, I am mostly concerned about him reinjuring the shoulder as he lowers the boom on defenders at the end of his runs.
Not good at all.

I'm still trying to figure out how signing autographs puts stress on the shoulder.
He must really SIGN them.

Brady could be set up for career highs if Maroney can't carry the load.

If Maroney went down, I would be shocked if a still-unsigned Dillon didn't come out of retirement to play for the Pats. He'd have the situation he wanted, a team that needs him badly, a chance to win another ring, and a way outside shot at making his hall of fame case. (note that I don't think he's going to the HoF, but I think he thinks he should, and I think that was why he wanted to either start or retire).

And the receivers could actually live up to their hype.

Maybe it's not stress, maybe he CAN'T due to nerve damage if he dislocated the shoulder.

Looks like it my be a good time for me to pickup Maroney on the cheap based off these reactions.
C'mon guys lift your heads up , theres been RB's with shoulder suguries before and there will be more in the future its not career ending. Damn speaking of shoulders Pennington had it the worst didnt he, no body wanted to touch the guy with a 10 ft pole, and look how he turned out. Remember when Mia had reservations and took a blown out knee over a shoulder injury and missed out on Brees. Im not being ignorant but the Pats would have safe guarded there situation a little more than they did if things were that bad. They really wanna make a SB push this season based off the acquisitions they have made , i doubt they leave the RB positon on the balance beam.
I'm actually more concerned about AD's injury to his collarbone in the same place twice supposedly.
