The New England Patriots are reportedly trying to pressure Jimmy Garoppolo into playing against the Houston Texans on Thursday, and they’re using the face of their franchise as an example to encourage him to play through pain.


According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, the Patriots want Garoppolo to suit up Thursday despite the fact that he is struggling to lift his right arm. In order to motivate the 24-year-old, the team is reportedly reminding him that Tom Brady has played hurt.


However, the Patriots are putting pressure on Garoppolo to be ready as quickly as possible, even reminding him Tom Brady played through a similar injury on multiple occasions throughout his career, sources have told the Herald. That Garoppolo took part in practice Tuesday, on a limited basis, reinforces how the Patriots have hopes of him playing this week.

Garoppolo is still struggling to lift his right arm, so it is unrealistic to believe he’ll be ready to perform effectively against the Texans, who are ranked third in both points and yards allowed through two weeks.



Howe notes that all signs indicate it would be “unrealistic” to think Garoppolo can face Houston, but the Patriots have not yet ruled him out.


Talk about laying it on thick, huh? Even if Garoppolo is able to play, it’s unlikely that he will be close to 100 percent. He is rumored to have suffered a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder during Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins when linebacker Kiko Alonso put a big hit on him. You can see a video of the play here.

Hahaha Watt will finish off his career in the 1st quarter
This....never send a hurt buy out to play a mans game.

Jimmy G will be running for his life.

Send Brissett out there and hold the fort down until TB12 comes back...

Maybe just another episode of Bill's displeasure with having to inform of Player Status....injuries? He don't like to show his cards.

Send an injured Garoppolo out into battle vs. J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney. Not a very good idea. Would wind up being Briskett Time anyways, real soon just with an even more hurt Garoppolo.

I know if a was a Rookie/Green QB and with or without being Hurt ... I'm not going out there !! lol

of course being a player you have to go out there and play.

But with Jimmy G hurt, why take that chance ?
Put the kid in there and give Jimmy a chance to be better next week

The black qb can put a couple nice games together by getting lucky and Pats can get a 1st round pick for him too@):mad:
