Faulk, Price, Ellis Among Patriots Inactives vs. Giants
The Patriots have announced their inactives for their 4:15 PM ET game against the New York Giants:
Kevin Faulk, RB
Dane Fletcher, LB
Taylor Price, WR
Ryan Mallett, QB
Donald Thomas, OL
Shaun Ellis, DE
A few thoughts on the inactives:
- Kevin Faulk and Taylor Price are both somewhat a surprise. There was a lot of talk this week that Price would be used in a much larger role, but a late-week hamstring injury set him back. Faulk was the Patriots primary running back last week against the Steelers, but was listed questionable with a knee injury this time around, and apparently was too sore to play.
- Jermaine Cunningham is a healthy scratch for the second straight week.
- Linebacker Jerod Mayo and tackle Sebastian Vollmer are both playing for the second straight week despite both being listed as questionable.
- The Patriots will take a hit with the absence of Shaun Ellis, who has a ribs injury. Ellis was finally playing well last week before coming up hurt.
- Today's game will also mark the return of safety Josh Barrett. Barrett started the year as the team's starting safeties but went down with injury week four against Oakland.
- Wes Welker, who took a dirty hit from the Steelers' Troy Polamalu last week and was questionable with a neck injury, will also be in action for the Patriots.

Lets see what Deadrick says first.Was hoping cunningham took his place,,,,,
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
:( Price out
I was hoping this would be his coming out party. Now I’m a little more worried about this game. We really don’t have many answers for Bump N Run
Taylor Price will be the starter by the end of the season (Said before Training Camp)
He must've chipped a nail in the hotel.
In GOD I TRUST>In BB i trust......faith where it belongs!!
Life is about who makes it, not who makes it the fastest! Drive slow homie.
