"In being placed on IR with the designation to return, Vereen did not count against the 53-man roster, but was ineligible to practice for six weeks and must miss a total of at least eight games. Because the Patriots have a bye in Week 10, Vereen could return to the field as soon as Week 11."

Totally agree. Blitz the crap out of Ben and that oline.

If Kelly can play, you play him. We have not been good vs the run and Bell is a decent shifty back who can run for some serious yrds. We have give up a ton the last 2 weeks. Stop the run, put pressure on Ben and make him run into sacks like he loves to do. Don't have to use on him every down, we can limit him.

If Kelly is 100% sure but if he 60% or 70& hell no.

If there's additional risk beyond the normal football stuff that it could set him back, I think you hold him out at this stage.

Obviously if he is not 100%....LOL...that I agree with.

I saw this and it's great news. We need both Kelly and Vereen back and hopefully Kelly can play this week or at the latest after the bye. Vereen is an important part of our offense that has been missing.

Kelly is out. Talib is D.
