Injury/participation report

Mike, do you have any idea what exactly Stephen Neal's injury is? Obviously the Pats are tight-lipped about that stuff, but he has been on the injury list all of this year and most of last year with the shoulder. Is it a rotator-cuff or tendon? Is it something that may require surgery?

What is status of W. Welker and what does team decision mean instead of listing the specific injury by the player's name?

Holy Crap! Do you see how BIG and YOUNG that O-Line is for the Jags? They average 6'4" and 317#s. Bigger than the Pat's OL. (Pat's starters average 6'4.5" and 306#s.
Green, Seymour, Warren, and Wilfork WILL be busy.
Pats will feel the loss of Colvin in this one.
Harrison will be busy policing the backfield.
I'm betting the Pats go with a LOT of nickle situations to support Harrison's play being closer to the line of scrimmage and to give their main tacklers (Vrabel, Bruschi, Thomas and Seau) some breathers.
Best defense though? OFFENSE!

Can you give the number of plays and formations run by the offense in last year's game in Jacksonville? The archive only goes back to February 2007.
