Phenix 100 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Just figured we could devote an entire thread to the often injured WR who is currently out and did not make the trip with New England to Detroit for an undisclosed reason. Any word of what the injury is, feel free to post it throught the year. Let this be the official checking point for all injury news related to Dola this coming season. I expect this will be the most posted thread in the history of FBG by the time this season is over.Injury 1 - Undisclosed since August 19th to presentDanny Amendola (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday night's preseason game against the Lions.Amendola didn't even make the trip to Detroit. Nobody knows exactly what he's dealing with injury-wise, but ESPN Boston reported earlier in the week that it isn't cause for "major concern" and isn't "head-related." Patriots starters won't play in next week's exhibition finale, so Amendola finishes the preseason with seven catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. He should be ready for Week 1.

Serenity Now 15 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I still can't believe the Pats let egos get in the way of keeping Welker. Why would you want the durable version of the perfect slot receiver when you can pay as much for one made of glass? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who knowsYou can tell this offense is not clicking the same as last week without Danny though. He has that certain ability to just get open, Edelmen doesnt have it.While Thompkins may be a factor, I've already noticed 2 drops from KT already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who is blind can still see when he is on the field with Brady, he is Welker 2.0. Although, I did say when he is on the field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolling_akg 13 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Its gonna be a wild thread. New England keeps everything hush hush. Lots of lineup anxiety I anticipate. And this team has prime time games so u may not be able to wait until kickoff. I'm not buying the dola hype as much. Maybe because randy moss 2.0, I mean Lloyd burned me last year.

SameSongNDance 7,014 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Danny Amendola's injury is believed to be to his ankle or foot.Amendola didn't travel to Detroit for Thursday's preseason game, and the Pats have maintained their usual radio silence on his status. A source told ESPN Boston earlier in the week that Amendola's injury wasn't cause for major concern, and reporter Mike Reiss is under the impression that remains the case. Among the most injury-prone players in the league, Amendola is a boom-or-bust WR2 as he slides into Wes Welker's old role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he stays healthy No doubt the talent is there. If he remains healthy I'd say top 10 is essentially probable. At least on a PPG basis, I'm sure he'll be top 10.

zamboni 6,670 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Amendola's injury does sound like the usual Patriot games (pun unintentional), but in this case, it may also be very possible that they are just resting him after already being without Hernandez and Gronkowski.

The Pats need Dola more than ever to be ready for the start of the season.I agree with your overall point that it's likely precautionary, but I don't think it's that urgent that he play in September. Even if they stunk without him and went 8-8 in the regular season, that should win the AFC East and give Brady a shot in the playoffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
