He sure looked pretty healthy jumping up and down on the sideline yesterday. I think he will play. A friend at work thinks they are going to play a quarter without him and see if they need him.

Some of the shows I'm hearing on ESPN radio say they wouldn't be suprised if he plays.

From what i've heard, he will suit up, but won't play that much and will not be a factor.

21-0 will be a large deficit to come back from

Andy Reid said you would see TO in the game during the trophy ceremony.

So the answer is yes. He'll probably go in as a decoy at the very least.

If he plays, momentum shifts to Philly for having the Curt Schilling-I'm-playing-while-hurt-and-I'm-a-superstar factor.

He can take a page out the Donovan McNab "4 touchdowns on a broken leg" book...

T.O. on a busted wheel still has size and good hands...he'll play if it is safe for him to put a full load on that ankle.

How much of a factor he will be is anyone's guess.

As mentioned by others. He'll suit up. I don't think there is anyway he would sit this one out completely unless he has a cast on or something crazy. He can still catch the ball pretty good, but I wouldn't look for too many fancy moves after the catch. You know how they always say, "Nobody wants to see a player get hurt no matter what team you are on".....well that's not true in this case. I hope someone in the NewEngland secondary lays into him and breaks his leg again. Loud-mouthed idiot.

All i can think of is Randy Moss playing when he was hurt... he ended up hurting the Vikings more than helping and, if I were in philly, I wouldn't play him unless he was 75+%.

no way he should play....that is a serious injury and it's way too soon....I haven't read/heard one doctor yet that says he would be ok playing....

I think he's playing. But it doesn't matter, Pats will win, the word "CHOKE" has never been part of their vocab. Winning runs through the blood of all Bellichick players.
