Sebastian Vollmer's only played in six games this season and hasn't been on the field since the Thanksgiving weekend game in Philly. Back and foot injuries have dogged him. But with the Super Bowl approaching, the big right tackle may soon be ready. "We'll see how it goes," Bill Belichick said Thursday morning. "He practiced some last week and wasn't able to play. He'll practice this week. We'll see if he's ready this week. My crystal ball is kind of clouding up."The play of rookie Nate Solder has mitigated the loss of Vollmer, who's been mainly battling a foot injury as he tries to get back. With the Giants having one of the NFL's best front-four pass rush groups, Belichick was asked if that would impact any plans to get Vollmer back in there. "It doesn't affect it at all," said Belichick. "When he's ready, he's ready. If he's not, he's not."In other words, if Vollmer can play without the threat of worsening an injury, he'll play. But there will be no pushing to get back if participating could lead to causing long-term effects. "If Sebastian is ready, he can help our football team," said Belichick. "He's a good football player. There's no question, he would absolutely be on the game-day roster if he's ready."
