NOTES:
Deion Branch has been upgraded on the injury report from Doubtful to Questionable,
which is a clear indication his condition is improving. He was seen in the locker
room during official media times, so it appears that Branch may return, if not
this week, then in the near future.
Ty Law is expected to be out again after breaking a bone in his foot during
the Steelers game. Law probably will not return before week 12 at the earliest.
Tyrone Poole who's injury has severly tested the fdepth of the Patriots secondary,
remains out for this game. If Poole's injury was thought to be very serious,
he likely would have been placed on IR by now. A few weeks ago, Poole said he
was feeling ready, but the team has continued to list him as out.
Asante Samuel injured his shoulder trying to tackle a 285 pund TE from the
Rams last week, and paid for it by hurting his shoulder and had to leave the
game. Samuel returned in the fourth quarter of the Rams game, and is expected
to recover in time to play this week against the Bills.
