Thursday at Gillette

Hey all --

We've just been kicked out of the Pats' locker room, where it was a funny day -- a lot to observe, but not a lot of players talking.

Injured tight end David Thomas chatted briefly with a couple of reporters, and said the upside of being hurt means he gets to spend time with his newborn son. Thomas still has a walking boot on his right foot. Running back Sammy Morris also made an appearance, walking through the room in his street clothes.

Brandon Meriweather talked about his friend and former teammate, Sean Taylor, who Meriweather said "helped me with everything" at Miami. "He helped me take my game from a 'C' to a 'B,' with the playbook he sat me down and helped me learn it."

Meriweather said he last spoke to Taylor, who died early Tuesday morning, just before New England played the Redskins.

Troy Brown also talked to the media, and is glad to be back on the roster: "I'm always excited to be around this game. All I can do is take it one day at a time, one play at a time," he said.

We're headed out to practice shortly, and will post an update then.
