We all saw it. We all saw it and cringed. Your elbow isn't designed to go that way, but Matthew Slater's did. There has been little information coming out of Foxborough, MA (big surprise!), so it's difficult to determine the extent of Matthew's injury. That being said, we need to move quickly. I'm sure Hoodie's got this covered, but why not put Slater on IR and free up a roster spot? Wouldn't that be the prudent thing to do? Which position would you think needs some taking care of and do you have a player in mind? Maybe QB to thicken up the ranks? I wonder if Feeley is still around.
Oh, if you're TRULY into gruesome-ness, I've managed to dig up the video of Slater's injury. Without the benefit of slow motion, it's pretty darn hard to tell if it was that bad. Slow it down a bit and, OUCH!!

Tell him to get back out on the field. That's why he has TWO arms!
Just kidding. If he’s not on IR, then they either think he’s going to get better before the season is over, or they don’t need the roster spot yet. Since they got rid of Lewis and co., they must not need the spot that badly.
The more you know, the more you know that you don't know.

That photo is sick!
You have to think the Pats are going to wait until the right player becomes available before they move Slater to IR. I don’t think thar his spot will be filled just to have a warm body. Essentially, they won’t bring anyone into the organization they don’t plan on holding on to. That way all the “secrets” stay in house.

Nobody can be added to the PUP list, now. It had to be done before the preseason starts. It’s IR or nothing.
