Moss injured?

Randy Moss left practice early this afternoon, apparently because of a problem with his left hamstring.

The wide receiver went deep straight down the middle chasing a bomb thrown about 60 yards in the air by Tom Brady late in passing drills. As the big crowd at practice roared in anticipation, Moss pulled up short and the pass landed in the end zone, over his head.

Rather than going back to the huddle, Moss headed to the sideline where he was treated briefly and stood as a a wrap was placed on his left upper leg. While no one from the Patriots was available to talk about the incident _ as all Pats fans know that would not have made a any difference since the team does not talk about injuries _ there was every indication that Moss had a hamstring problem.

Moss was able to move on his own, so it did not appear to be serious. He waited on the sidelines for several minutes, at one point speaking briefly with Brady who came over to see him. Moss then left practice and did not return.

The injury problem for Moss came after he had once again been one of the stars of practice, catching a number of passes from Brady, including a deep one on the first play of passing drills.
