I’m not too worried about it per the tweet below. At this point just about everyone has some sort of knick, it’s just a matter of managing everyone and getting everyone as close to 100% as possible for the opener. Amendola’s past injuries have been more of the bone-break variety, not lingering muscle/soft tissue problems. He should be fine for the opener, and as one tweep pointed it out, it might be good for the Pats to adjust a gameplan without him, because if I were the Bills/Jets, I’d be taking Amendola out of the game and forcing Brady to beat us with rookies and the running game.
Will echo this: No one at Gillette has shown any concern over the reason Amendola has been out of two practices. He’ll be fine.
