Markus Zusevics shouldnt be much of a surprise. He injured himself at the combine which was why he went undrafted. He wasnt supposed to be healthy in camp. Not sure about the other guys.

didn’t Markus Zusevics tear his pec lifting at the combine? I think some of these guys had existing injuries

Not that big of a deal, Ebert was hurt before minicamps, was with the traners the whole time and this was expected, Zusevics hurt himself benching at the combine. That is two known injuries also the biggest names out of the group. So that means three UDFA’s failed the physical for unknown reason.

At least three of these guys were injured. Ebert was limited in camp, Zusevics tore a pec at the combine, and Warren had a pre-existing issue. So to the trolls talking about how this is the demise of BB and the Pats, do some research.

It won’t make a difference, none of these guys would have been starters anyway.

I don’t know if those physical tests, namely the timed “wind sprints” are a norm throughout the NFL, however making rookies run that much is a true testament to the Patriots. A lot of NFL teams overlook the importance of wind-sprints & other endurance-building activities. As for the Patriots, they are a team that never seems to get winded late in games & I truly believe that they have a strong focus on stamina & endurance building activities. After watching the Jets in the last Hard Knocks, they should maybe take a play from BB’s book here. While the Pats rookies are running timed 40-60 yard wind-sprints to even be cleared for training camp, the Jets players are buying McDonalds & eating McDoubles on the field. I’m not a Pats fan, and clearly I’m not a Jets fan, but this is just another one of the numerous examples of why the Pats are just a better, superior organization from top to bottom. It’s also one of the thousands of reasons why so long as Rex is coaching the Jets & BB is roaming NE’s sideline that the Jets will never overtake the Pats for the AFC East kings. Then again, Jets fans are content with appearing in two AFC CG’s without a single piece of hardware to show for except for the imaginary Wild Card Trophy a/k/a the Rex Ryan Trophy.

What drugs are you on? Even Albert Haynesworth passed it.

Pretty sure he failed it 47 times before he actually passed.

“they may also fail early conditioning tests.”

Failing a Bill Belichick conditioning test?!?!

What drugs are you on? Even Albert Haynesworth passed it.

Did they know ahead of time what they had to do? You would think they could train for it

5 non-football injuries? Sounds fishy to me.

After the draft, you would have thought the Patriots drafted the greatest team ever…I guess the hoodie isn’t perfect.

Aaaah…one is permitted to take disgusting, offensive, vulgar shots at Ben Roethlisberger at any time of the day or night, but it is absolutely forbidden to call the Florio-beloved Patriots the “c.h.e.a.t.r.i.o.t.s.”, so much so that the auto-filters screen the very word!
