I genuinely cant believe Campbell and Hendo are practicing.

I imagine they both miss this and next week.

But...goddamn.

Yeah it’s super encouraging given their initial prognosis. Henderson running and practicing cuts on a high ankle sprain makes no sense, so the injury must not be that severe.

And Campbell wouldn’t practice if he seriously aggravated the same knee as last year.

So I haven’t rewatched the play but I thought it looked like he kicked the first down pylon camera (which I imagine is hard af) with his bad ankle. So maybe instead of a full sprain he just re-aggravated the ankle with the hard contact? Totally spit balling but that might be why he’s back despite the injury named

Hope Davis is able to get back soon, but Vildor really stepped up in his place

very surprised by that. he traumatized me with his performances in chicago, but was extremely satisfied with the way he played. sucks for the rookie prunty not being able to take advantage of these injuries

Well that’s about as good as we could have hoped for… that being said I’d rather rest anyone who’s not 100% considering it’s the jets and we’ve got tnf

The jets game is far more important than the bears game and nobody should be looking at it like the win is a given, they actually have talent on their team this year and historically geno smith has carved up the patriots when he plays them

I agree, but still think we shouldnt rush players back and risk it considering we play TNF next

The Jets aren’t as trash as they typically are. This may be a trap game.

We understand the Jets are not a pushover any longer. Guarantee the Pats players and staff understand this as well.

I also worry that playing the Jets game will set the expectation that they'll play against the Bears next Thursday on 3 days rest. I'd rather they sit the Jets game so we can make sure they're healthy. If they're ready for the Bears game, then that's great.

I prefer like 10 snaps or something to get the juices flowing; otherwise, agree

Damn what happened to Durden?

u/Latina_appreciator69 2d ago

Durden is listed as an illness so he probably will play

So the Campbell injury was really not a huge deal/
