After having surgery Thursday to repair ligament damage in his right ankle at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the New England Patriots running back Fred Taylor hopes that he will be able to play some games of this season for his team. So does Coach Bill Belichick.
Belichick said Friday that the team plans to list Taylor on the injury report weekly and they will not place the running back on injured reserve to end his season until it becomes obviously that Taylor is not going to come back. And Taylor has told reporters that he would bounce back stronger and not expect to be sideline for the entire season. More information will be know after he meets with the doctor again.
The 33-year-old Taylor spent his first 11 years of NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars and joined the Patriots in the offseason with a two-year contract. With 45 carries for 201 yards and two touchdowns in four games, he has become the team’s leading rusher.

Saints RB Bell to miss Sunday game against Bills
The New Orleans Saints was to rotate with running backs after leading rusher Mike Bell missed practice all week with a sprained MCL in his right knee. They will not only do so in practice, but also probably in this Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
Since it has been confirmed that Bell will not play in the game against the Bells, Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush and Lynell Hamliton will be the trio of running back to rotate in the game, as they had done in practice since Bell was out with injury. Not any single of the three has been considered to be able to play the same role of Bell, who was the Saints’ most productive runner through the first two games, rushing for 229 yards and a touchdown.
Along with Bell, wide receiver Lance Moore and defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy have also been ruled out for Sunday’s game as they are still staying on Saints’ injury report, with Moore injured on right hamstring and Clancy hurting right knee.
