Jarvis Green News

Sammy Morris and Matt Light were both hopeful that they'd be ready to return for today's game against the Jets.

The New England Patriots will be without both of their starting defensive ends Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts .

Monique Walker passes along the list of players not present at this afternoon's practice: Fred Taylor, Rob Ninkovich, Steve Neal, Tully Banta-Cain, and Jarvis Green.

The Patriots were missing quite a few players at practice today. According to colleague Ian Rapoport , who was on hand to watch the media viewing portion, they were missing Linebackers Tully Banta-Cain and Rob Ninkovich , offensive lineman Stephen Neal and special teams captain Sam Aiken , all who left the Colts game, were missing.

That was certainly an impressive statistic after eight games, but we all knew it wouldn't hold any substance until seeing how they stood up to Peyton Manning.

One of the side stories to come out of the tremendous game in Indianapolis last night was the idea that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick did not have faith in his defense, which led to his decision to go for it on fourth down in a situation where most other coaches would have punted.

We saw a great example of Bill Belichick's genius and outside-the-box thinking last Sunday when he moved Vince Wilfork over from his usual spot at nose tackle to defensive end in the Patriots 3-4 defense.

Given the lengthy injury reports the Patriots have been releasing recently, one question looms leading up to tonight's game: Who's going to play? Left tackle was listed as doubtful with a knee injury he suffered against Denver, while center Dan Koppen , running back Sammy Morris and receiver Julian Edelman were questionable.

Starting center Dan Koppen is one of 10 New England Patriots listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the undefeated Indianapolis Colts.

While many of New Orleansa TM tourist destinations have recovered from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, many less-visible victims of the disaster are still trying to rebuild lives and families after the tragedy.

If the Patriots had one, their midseason defensive MVP award would undoubtedly go to Vince Wilfork.

The ability to stand up without feeling woozy felt like an accomplishment yesterday for Patriots cornerback Jonathan Wilhite .

Myron Pryor isn't talkative by nature. Just ask those who knew him as a star for the University of Kentucky's defense.

Examining history might not be able to predict the future, but it can educate. Patriots [ team stats ] left tackle Matt Light [ stats ] has missed the past three games with a knee injury, and rookie Sebastian Vollmer has stepped in more than ably.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- What a gorgeous Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

Bill Belichick poked a little fun at himself but also shed a little light on what makes Randy Moss an exceptional receiver on Friday, giving fascinating insight into one of the best wideouts in NFL history.

The following players did not participate in practice today: WR Julian Edelman DE Jarvis Green T Matt Light RB Sammy Morris RB Fred Taylor DE Ty Warren CB Jonathan Wilhite QB Tom Brady and WR Randy Moss were both listed on the official practice reporter with shoulder injuries, but each participated in full.

The media reports on the team's ground game, learn which player will be sidelined, Mike Wright talks about the wildcat offense, the team adds a tight end and learn a few defensive stats.

According to a report by Tom Curran at Comcast Sports , Patriots defensive end Jarvis Green had knee surgery last week and will be out until the start of December at the earliest.

Patriots defensive end Mike Wright could get more playing time after Jarvis Green reportedly underwent knee surgery that is expected to sideline him for at least one game.
