Randy Moss - Injury Status? (1 Viewer)

[Groundpounder]

Have any of you NE homers heard status on Moss's injury? Is there one? How bad is it? Is this just Belicheck playing games? (can't imagine that as Moss needs to gel with Brady). I was surprised that I didn't find any recent threads when I did a search. There isn't even anything in NE's training camp thread.

My guess: Totally fake injury.

He hasn't practiced since August 1 . . .

It's in the papers every day and everything I've read says it's no big deal at all. They are just being overly cautious because there's no need to screw around with a hamstring in the preseason. I would be really shocked if Moss wasn't starting in Week 1.

I know this is usually (rightfully) ridiculed on this board, but I was at Pats training camp early August and was chatting with a buddy of mine who works for the team. Asked him if Moss would practice, he said no. Asked about injury, said it's nothing, they are just taking him slow. So as a Pats fan I'm not worried.It seems this TC they are really not risky players AT ALL and being super cautious about all injuries.This might impact the team's chemistry and flow the first few weeks of the season, but hopefully will pay dividends come the second half of the year.

makes sense. They don't need him to win games right now, but when it counts, he could be the game-changer.

FWIW, Adam Schefter on NFL network tonight says it's not a big deal and the hamstring is coming along fine. Will likely not play until Week 1. But Patriots are still "in love" and the Moss "marriage" is still very much in the honeymoon phase.

The idea is as difficult to imagine as the idea of Randy Moss playing for the Patriots.

But after almost four months together, the Patriots now wish they had more players as hard-working and as vastly talented as Moss.

Soon enough, the public and Patriots fans will see for themselves.

With Moss nursing a minor hamstring injury that the Patriots are being extremely cautious with, the mercurial wide receiver is not expected to play Friday night at Carolina, but he could see some brief action in New England's preseason finale.

Sometime in the next two weeks, Tom Brady and Randy Moss will be in a game together for the first time as teammates.

But here's the news that will be felt all the way to Hempstead, New York: The Patriots fully expect Moss to be on the field for the regular-season opener against the New York Jets.

After being around Moss since April, the Patriots have high hopes.

People wondered how the marriage between Moss and the Patriots would work. The early answers are in ... and the honeymoon shows no signs of letting up.

For now, Patriots coach Bill Belichick is steering clear of any discussion about exactly when Moss might be back and how his absence has hurt him.

''I think all of the players, when they don't practice, what they have to focus on is ... what they can do and not what they can't do,'' Belichick said. ''That's true for every player. There are a lot of things that you can do mentally, in the meeting room and in a film study. The areas of the body that you can train, that are trainable, you train and the ones that aren't, then you rehab them until they are.

''I think that's really what the focus of every injured player should be, is to work on the things that he can work on and then try to treat whatever injury it is until he can get back on the field and fully participate with the group. That's what we try to do.''

And they've done it with Moss. As early as next week, Moss will be ready to go. And so will the Patriots' offense.

Been reading how Brady and Moss are really getting along great ! Maybe Moss realizes Brady is by far the gretaest QB he has ever had and shows him respect. A happy Moss could do monster things in New England ! 85 1400 15 !
