Locker room scene

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff January 25, 2008 11:58 AM

FOXBOROUGH -- A few highlights from the media access to the locker room today:

  • 1) Harrison on Thursday's practice. Safety Rodney Harrison, who has been battling a thigh injury in recent weeks and wasn't present at the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, touched on his absence. "Old age," he cracked. "I'm fine. It's a long season. I'm fine. I'll be there [Sunday]."

  • 2) Stallworth jokes about Brady. WRs Donte' Stallworth and Wes Welker held press conferences in the media workroom. At the end of Stallworth's press conference, he was asked about Tom Brady's ankle injury. "Bill [Belichick] actually brought me into his office earlier this morning and asked me if I wanted to move to quarterback, and we're going to put in a whole new offense," Stallworth cracked. "We're going to run the option. We brought in the coach from Nebraska, Tom Osborne, I've met with him and we have the option going. Tom is going to go ahead and let me take the reins on Sunday."

  • 3) Rosevelt Colvin sighting. Outside linebacker Rosevelt Colvin, who is on the injured reserve list due to a foot injury, walked through the locker room with an orange hood covering his head. When reporters approached him for comment, he said he'd be at the Super Bowl and would check in at that time.

    EXTRA POINTS: LBs Junior Seau, Tedy Bruschi and Larry Izzo and WR Kelley Washington were a few players drawing larger media crowds. ... There was no sign of QB Tom Brady in the locker room.
