to be seen if he can reclaim his starting spot.','10/10/2003','8:35:00 AM','Friday',295 5866,18,6,'Growing Injury List Has Pats Working Without Pads...','According to SportsLine.com, the list of injured Patriots unable to practice Thursday included Antowain Smith (shoulder), Kevin Faulk (hamstring), Deion Branch (ankle). The status of all three players remains uncertain at this point.
On more positive note, the Sporting News reports that tight end Daniel Graham returned to practice on Wednesday and could play this week.
Graham missed last week''s game with a shoulder injury and is listed as questionable for this week.
Of course, the injuries to Smith and Faulk all but lock Mike Cloud in for significant playing time if not a starting assignment.
Given their ongoing injury problems, Providence Journal sports writer Tom E. Curran reports the team has been practicing without pads for three weeks.
"We usually go out in pads at least twice [per week]," head coach Bill Belichick explained. "I would say it is rare that we don''t go out in pads at all during the week. But we haven''t been out in pads in a while."
Belichick says he isn''t averse to going without pads.
"I have done it both ways and I have been a part of both practicing with them and without them. There are advantages to both," he said. "There are a lot of different ways to skin a cat and coach in this league. I just think that [hitting during the week] is what works best for us. But we are in a situation right now where I think it will be more counter-productive than productive. I will say that I think the players have approached it with a good attitude. The tempo of the practices is probably a little bit higher. That is the positive. We are not getting the technique work and the contact that we would get if we were in pads. But from a timing and speed standpoint it is probably a little bit better. They don''t seem to mind it."
