Wednesday wrap-up

Hey all --

It's a "normal" Wednesday here at Gillette, even though the Patriots have a Monday night game. That means Tom Brady was chatting in front of his locker, and Mike Vrabel, who also tries to limit his weekly appearances to Wednesday, was holding court as well.

As one would expect, there was a lot of talk about the Bengals' offense and receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and Carson Palmer's proficiency with the no-huddle offense.

New England's offensive line also got more love, as did Sammy Morris, whom Bill Belichick said is a good guy to be around and a professional, as well as a hard worker who has been able to contribute on all four downs so far.

Rosevelt Colvin was showing off a stuffed parrot he had hanging in his locker that repeats whatever he said...he'll put it to use when he starts hearing the same questions over and over, he joked.

Brady admitted that it's not just fans and media observers who have been surprised by the performance of Morris: ""Sammy has been a surprise for everybody. He's done everything that we've asked him to do. He's very powerful and explosive," he said.

As has often been the case this season, after the interview at his locker, Brady was seen wearing a soft wrap/contraption on his right shoulder. He said he's trying to keep on top of it, but said he's doing OK.

We'll be out at practice shortly and will update you on any absences from there.
