An injury report with no Patriots on it?
Never thought you'd see the day, did you? After all, this is the team that listed Tom Brady on the injury report every week for three consecutive seasons -- 2005-07 -- with an unspecified right shoulder injury, even though Brady played each game during that stretch. But, after removing tight end Dwayne Allen and cornerback Stephon Gilmore from the list today, the Pats declared themselves to be completely healthy for Sunday's crucial AFC matchup with the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
If you're looking for bad karma, here it is: The Pats removed Brady from the injury for the 2008 season opener . . . and that was the game he suffered the knee injury that knocked him out for the rest of the year.
