| Responding to recent criticism levied by Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter, Tom Brady says he doesn't believe that he receives preferential treatment from NFL referees, according to the Boston Globe. |
Our View: "I think the ref calls what he sees," he said. "I don't think I've ever influenced a call. The refs we have are very good. If they make a call on (roughing the passer), great. If they don't, that's fine." A diplomatic response from Brady - also a false one. |

|
|
| Sammy Morris will miss Week 9 against Miami due to his ailing knee, according to WEEI.com. |

|
|
|
| Fred Taylor has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, according to WEEI Sports. |
Our View: The 33-year-old vet will be missing his fourth straight game due to an ankle injury. Sammy Morris (knee) is also out, so Laurence Maroney should handle the bulk of the workload at running back. |
|
|
|
| Ty Warren was limited in practice for the second straight day Friday, according to WEEI.com. |
Our View: Warren is recovering from an ankle injury, and is questionable for Sunday's home game against Miami. He is a solid defensive end when healthy. |
|
|
|

Our View: He is dealing with a back ailment, and is questionable for Sunday's game against Miami. |
|
|
|
| Randy Moss fully practiced for the third straight day Friday, according to WEEI.com. |
Our View: Moss has been nursing a shoulder ailment, but looks to be fine for Sunday's battle with Miami at Gillette Stadium. The stud receiver should do well against the Dolphins' 21st ranked pass defense. |
|
|
|
| Tom Brady is probable for Sunday's home game against Miami, according to WEEI Sports. |

|
|
|
| Ty Warren was limited in practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, according to the Providence Journal. He is recovering from an ankle injury. |

|
|
|
| Randy Moss fully practiced for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Providence Journal. |

|
|
|
| Ben Watson was limited in practice for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Providence Journal. He is nursing a back ailment. |
Our View: Watson should be a good bet to play Sunday against Miami. He only has 15 receptions, but scored four touchdowns for fantasy owners. |
|
|
|
| Sammy Morris missed practice for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Providence Journal. |
Our View: Morris is on the shelf indefinitely while recovering from a knee injury. Fred Taylor (ankle) is also not practicing, meaning Laurence Maroney should handle the bulk of the workload at running back Sunday against Miami. |
|
|
|
| Fred Taylor did not practice for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Providence Journal. |
Our View: The 33-year-old vet missed the last three games with an ankle injury, and his odds of returning Sunday against Miami do not look good as of now. Sammy Morris (knee) is also not practicing, so Laurence Maroney could see most of the action at running back. |
|
|
|
| Ben Watson was limited in Wednesday's practice while nursing his ailing back, according to NFL.com. |
Our View: Watson is yet to miss a game this season, and should be able to play Sunday against Miami, assuming his back does not get worse. Watson scored four touchdowns on only 15 receptions so far this season. |
|
|
|
| Ty Warren missed today's practice while recovering from his ankle injury, according to the Patriots' official website. |
Our View: Warren is yet to miss a game this season, and had extra time to heal with the bye in Week 8. He is a rock-solid defensive end when healthy, and hopefully he can play Sunday when the Patriots host Ronnie Brown and the Dolphins. |
|
|
|
| Fred Taylor missed Wednesday's practice due to his ailing ankle, according to the Patriots' official website. |
Our View: Taylor missed the last three games, and it is uncertain if the 33-year-old vet will be able to return Sunday against Miami. Sammy Morris (knee) also missed practice, meaning Laurence Maroney could handle the bulk of the workload at running back. |
|
|
|
| James Sanders was limited in today's practice while nursing his shoulder ailment, according to the Patriots' official website. |

|
|
|
| Randy Moss fully practiced Wednesday, according to the Patriots' official website. |
Our View: The elite receiver has been nursing a shoulder ailment, but should be good to go for Sunday's home game against the Dolphins, who are ranked 21st in pass defense. |
|
|
|
| According to the Boston Herald, running back Sammy Morris did not practice on Wednesday and is out indefinitely due to a knee injury. |
Our View: There is still no timetable for Morris' return and Laurence Maroney owners will continue to reap the rewards while Morris is sidelined. |
|
|
|
| The Boston Herald reports that Mike Wright will replace Jarvis Green on the defensive line this week. |
Our View: Green is out for 2-4 weeks with a knee injury, so Wright figures to see a much bigger role for the time being at least. He has played all over the defensive line this season and has totaled 17 tackles and a team-leading four sacks. Expect his production to increase now that he has a starting role as opposed to his prior "jack-of-all-trades" job description. |
|
|
|
| Adalius Thomas (undisclosed) was absent from Tuesday's practice, according to the Boston Globe. |
Our View: Thomas was not motivated to perform better following his benching, as he only made one solo tackle in Week 7 at Tampa Bay. He will not be a recommended option for IDP leagues in Sunday's game against Miami. |
|
|
|
| Jarvis Green will be out until early December after undergoing knee surgery last week, according to Comcast Sports. |
Our View: Green has just 18 tackles so far this season as he has tried to play through his injury. A combination of players should fill in for him. |
