FOXBORO - Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi suffered a possible wrist fracture at practice Monday and will be sidelined for at least a week while the team determines the severity of the injury.

According to a source, Bruschi will be put in a cast or splint for a week before a more definitive prognosis is reached.

He apparently hurt himself during Monday’s morning practice. He did not participate in drills that afternoon and missed both sessions yesterday.

Bruschi, 33, is in his first full season back since suffering a stroke last year. He had been a major physical presence early in camp, blasting rookie running back Laurence Maroney with big hits on consecutive days.

 

 

“Offensive guys, they don’t want to mess with Tedy,” defensive back Eugene Wilson said earlier in camp. “He’s done hurt a couple of guys it’s looking like already. He’s got a chip on his shoulder.”

 

Depending on how long he’s sidelined, the loss of Bruschi would be a huge blow to a defense that’s already thin at middle linebacker. Monty Beisel has been paired there with Bruschi, allowing Mike Vrabel to play outside, where he’s best suited. With Bruschi out, Vrabel may be forced back inside.

 

The good news is that the season doesn’t open until Sept. 10, so there’s time for Bruschi to heal. There’s also a chance that if he did suffer a break, it’s relatively minor.

 

Whatever the final prognosis, Bruschi has overcome worse. He was expected to miss last season - if not retire - after his stroke. But he made a dramatic return on Oct. 30 against Buffalo, earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors with a 10-tackle effort.

 

He clearly gained strength as the season progressed, recording 72 tackles and two sacks in nine games, sharing Comeback Player of the Year honors with Carolina wideout Steve Smith.

He arrived at camp fully healthy. This latest setback is just another challenge he’ll have to overcome

Tedy actually created small microscopic nanobots that he then injected himself into his blood stream, and Tedy desighned these over night with just one hand, to go to his broken wrist and begin the repair process. Word has it that if it's Noble prize worthy RnD that Tedy would turn down the honor and say he was doing it for the team.

I would be willing to bet even if Teddy Bruschi somehow died, the Patriots would still have him out on the field, and he'd still find ways to get the tackle. He'll be just fine. :D

 

 

And I'll bet you that even if he did die, Belichek would only list him as "Questionable" on the injury report.
