Patriots tackle Isaiah Wynn returned to practice on Wednesday, meaning that he is now designated for return from injured reserve. It’s big news for a team that boasts a perfect record, but also has some room for improvement up front.
Wynn takes the second and final allotted Pats IR-DTR spot, meaning that the season is officially over for Josh Gordon and the rest of the Patriots’ players on injured reserve. The Patriots reportedly had no designs on bringing Gordon back this season, but the wide receiver insists that he’ll be healthy and ready to play before the year is through. Ultimately, this will probably result in Gordon’s release, with the chance that he could hook on with a different club in 2019. In case you missed it: The first IR-DTR slot was used to bring back wide receiver N’Keal Harry.
Wynn, a Pats 2018 first-round pick, left the team’s Week 2 shutout in Miami due to turf toe and was placed on IR soon afterwards. He’ll get nothing but hand-pounds and hugs now that he’s back on the practice field – the Pats have missed him, especially in a season being spent without center David Andrews.
In other Pats injury news – tight end Matt LaCosse (knee) was also back at practice on Wednesday.
I’d just been thinking that that franchise has had it really rough and deserved a nice boost like getting a first rounder back from injury.
Make that (2) first round picks (Harry & Winn). Just in time for their real schedule to begin. I’d be surprised if the Pats finish with a record better than 13-3 given how they’ve played lately.
Because they’ve played horribly?
right, exactly my thoughts.if a teams playing poorly and is 8-0 keep on doing poor then! lol
they might have a couple holes but I don’t see them as playing poorly???..kind of a weird statement regarding a unbeaten team..and they will be getting 2 first rounders back
Exactly. I think the 2 players they’re getting back from IR are more important than ALMOST anybody they could’ve traded for.
Uh, it’s spelled Wynn…..
When is Wynn eligible to return to game action?
After the bye week I believe
Thanks!
