Reports in the The Boston Globe quote Patriots RB Laurence Maroney as saying he had a broken bone in his shoulder last season and tried to play through it. He now says it’s “great” and he’s ready to go. Too bad he’s listed 4th on the Pats depth chart still.

Maroney is in a contract year and if in fact he’s finally healthy he could have a solid season – IF he gets the chance. The Pats haven’t been thrilled with what Maroney has brought them so he’ll certainly have to earn his way back on to the field. Being behind Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris do increase the chances of that happening however. We of course keep an eye on everybody but we are always sure we know who’s playing for a contract.
