It sure hasn’t been an easy offseason for the Patriots, at this point it seems like their only significant weapon from 2012 that isn’t dealing with an injury (and is still a Patriot) is Stevan Ridley, who, oh by the way, was last seen laid out on the field, unconscious.
At this point, we’ve all gone into “hopefully everyone will be healthy and ready for the playoff push” because it certainly seems like the offense will be dealing with a number of issues at the start of the season.
Gronk could still be out, Edelman will be the only legit receiver who’s caught a pass from TFB (and I use the term “legit” loosely), and now Hernandez might possibly be limited as well.
Let’s just get to the draft so we can have some new players to be excited about, because I’m sick of the random “oh and this guy’s still injured too” reports.
#Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez underwent shoulder surgery this offseason, I’m told, likely knocking him out of OTAs and mini-camp this spring.
