Quote: | The Patriots placed Donte' Stallworth on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered a high ankle sprain on his 63-yard touchdown reception against the Houston Texans on Monday night. A team source tells NFL.com's Albert Breer that the Patriots will sign Deion Branch to replace Stallworth. |
Branch will be on the Patriots' roster for the third time this year. Pretty unfortunate for Stallworth after that beauty of a TD grab. |

So, technically, Brady to Stallworth is going to have perfect QBR for the whole season. And people said he was washed-up. _________________ Adopt-a-Pat

That didn't last long...
Thought they should've signed Branch from the beginning, but wasn't he not healthy or something? _________________ With much cheese,

He looked pretty good to me, even if it was just one game. Just saying. |

Even so, Stallworth is still miles faster than Branch
Rather have a healthy Branch tho, he has great chemistry with Brady and knows the offense well. _________________

Compared to what he once was, he was slow....if he was really, really, really slow he wouldn't have scored  _________________

We released him he had a hamstring issue.
I feel for Stallworth busts his butt to get back and get the chance somewhere and injured on a nice play. _________________
