Play from 0:42[0:42]" Thanks -- not a lot to break down this week not any okay I'm a -- Troy brown still practicing and his point one -- PUP window we have about another. Week to go here. Would you be forced into making a decision although they could make a decision at any point if they chose to. Either activate him or leave him on UPI -- the remainder of the year but I don't see any reason to believe they would do that before they need to make that decision and other than that at the injury report which I will go over to bring to your attention a couple of notable names. Eric Alexander Mel Mitchell Eugene Wilson all of did not participate in practice this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Erika Alexander still has a knee injury Mel Mitchell groin injury Eugene Wilson with the ankle injury. -- needed to those guys special team tight and Alexander Mitchell will be battling injuries for multiple weeks now. -- will and -- had this ankle injury yet still with him walking around with no -- Has not addressed the media in awhile what do you think his situation is moving forward to guide it's really struggled with the injuries over the years we've even seen this scenario play out where he. Miss time for an extended period and then ended up on my -- later now is American or in the Eugene Wilson ends up on injured reserve."

Play from 1:57[1:57]" And I suppose there's a concern for Eugene Wilson by the way the team played in the way to -- Sanders played it in his absence I don't think there's much of concern you know for the patriots are obviously they want as many healthy bodies in contributors they can get by. I don't think it's a major things aren't going forward if they would lose him and beat down two you know with the situation if they've been going with the AP in -- Tom could Sally interest."

Play from 2:20[2:20]" In -- in here we spoke with patriots defense coordinator dean P's today. -- press conference here to a stadium and he was asked about Brandon Meriweather and normally you'd think Eugene Wilson goes down Brandon Meriweather a free safety versatile -- sort of in the Wilson mold. Mike you ready to step up we get more playing time but do you believe that be the case not according to BBs I think cutesy Rashad baker give more playing time we will analyze them while I told the guys got mocked the I notice that the first mini camp. And that's when I -- this guy's got so that I don't know what it is what it's something of an I think he's at at the line. Mary whether I don't know it seemed like he might have a Janet Jackson thing where he's not quite picking things up he has the athletic ability so I think that. I would think that you would see him against passing right the colts -- and we he was on the field rental I don't see much of."

Play from 3:13[3:13]" It clear that Tom is right about baker he's the guy that's gotten -- time. Not not meriwether and when they -- next to defensive back even and I mean Toms right about baker."

Play from 3:25[3:25]" While that he would take the heat and it and if you call me stubborn and knocks out clamored to know more and the coach let's let's. Equipment that was my bills -- thought I played linebacker and we I mean I I think -- pretty clear that they feel that when they go to the dime package and and they -- a statement of fact baker was one tournament. In Maryland hasn't been he really played significant deep into that match. That I can really think. Yet and it's clear dean he's made it very clear without -- he's struggling to pick up the offense the fence just saying. He still learning there's a transition phase there whether it's a rookie or veteran coming into this system he seen in the past. And -- that's clearly an issue there would meriwether as he learns that he senses even prepares to have a role with the team whether it's. Late in the year or whether it's next year -- at some point they. Take a first round pick you you hope at some point -- built into playmaker for your team but other than that coming out of the by patriots relatively healthy the rest of the injury report in the he's in the limited practice participation guys. Tom Brady Eddie Jackson and -- go -- you of Eddie Jackson -- you know obviously comes up PP still meal soreness there. Stephen -- shoulder which has been recurring theme not a the last time it was and that's always -- he missed three games Mike -- Wes Welker. The team decision on those two guys were both days but Rodney Harrison didn't have his pads on yesterday as most of our listeners heard -- progress but that team through those veteran things. I don't believe his injury issues there night -- for the most part this team's pretty healthy. Going -- week 11 undefeated. Big matchup Sunday night match up with the bills in buffalo.
