How would we have any form of "leverage"? If we start calling around about needing a WR is some other GM not going to think Nelson is done? There's no way we even make a call unless Jordy is significantly injured to where he's at least IR'ed and miss 10 games.

But first you gotta realize, a GM that feels he has a trade-able WR they want gone or wont make the 53 will often call a team, when hearing a WR is hurt.

Now if it's Ted Thompson that makes the call, and obviously everyone knows Jordy's hurt, missing a chunk of the season [IR-D Return or just sitting on the roster] and IR-DONE, places GB on 2 distinct levels of desperation [which is also a relative term], which creates 2 distinct leverage points for negotiations. And the former provides more leverage than the later.

1265 owes no duty of explanation of the subject injury ever to fans. However they must identify whether he is Out, Probable, Questionable, etc for Games 1, 2 ... and/or 19.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Really, they don't owe us any information even then - not anytime.

Teams are required to disclose accurate information regarding injuries.

No, neither have the Patriots. This goes to the credibility of the Commissioner and, along with him, the league.
