ESPN Boston reports ILB Brandon Spikes "hasn’t been seen much" since the start of the Patriots' offseason program.
It's an interesting strategy for a player going into the final year of his rookie contract, but there have been no reports Spikes is planning to skip this week's "voluntary" OTAs. Going on 26, Spikes is coming off his strongest campaign. He started 14 games last season, grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 9 inside linebacker. Spikes offers little on passing downs, but could put himself in position for a nice payday with a similarly strong 2013.

ESPN Boston expects Brandon Spikes (knee, ankle) to miss Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Like every player on the Patriots' injury report, Spikes is listed as questionable, but he was inactive for last week's win over Jacksonville and could be rested as a precautionary measure. If Spikes is ruled out, a combination of Rob Ninkovich and Tracy White will replace him at inside linebacker.

Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes (knee surgery) passed his physical to open camp and will begin practicing immediately.
He's good to go after a February scope. Spikes, now entering his third NFL season, racked up 47 tackles in eight games (six starts) last year, dominating against the run when healthy. He'll likely be a two-down linebacker in 2012.
Wed, Jul 25, 2012 04:58:00 PM
Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes (knee surgery) "appears like a safe bet" to be ready for camp.
Spikes' February operation was a routine scope, and he's been walking without a limp for over two months. It will be purely precautionary if he's limited early in camp.

Julian Edelman
Sidelined
ESPN Boston agrees with the Boston Herald that Patriots WR Julian Edelman is not a lock for a roster spot.
The Patriots waited nearly a month before re-signing Edelman to a contract that includes no guaranteed money, while a setback with his troublesome foot has him questionable for the beginning of camp. Edelman's experience in the Patriots' system and special-teams prowess should give him a leg up on the likes of Donald Jones, Lavelle Hawkins and Michael Jenkins, but only if he's healthy.

The Boston Herald confirms Rob Gronkowski's fourth left-forearm surgery will take place Monday at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Dr. Jesse Jupiter is expected to perform the procedure, with Patriots team Dr. Thomas Gill on hand. The surgeons will take "cultures" from Gronk's arm. If the cultures come back infection-free, a new plate will replace the one already in Gronkowski's arm and he'll begin a 10-11 week recovery timetable. If the cultures show Gronk's infection has lingered, "it's back to square one" and Gronkowski will likely miss regular season games.

Aaron Hernandez
Sidelined
ESPN Boston reports that "word is" Aaron Hernandez (shoulder) can expect a four-month recovery period.
Hernandez underwent a "minor scope" almost three weeks ago, and he is not expected to participate in OTAs or minicamp. It's possible he could even open training camp on the PUP list. There remains plenty of time for Hernandez to be ready for Week 1. The Patriots will likely bring him along slowly.

Jake Ballard
Sidelined
The Patriots still have "high hopes" for TE Jake Ballard (knee).
Thanks to the injury woes of Rob Gronkowski (arm) and Aaron Hernandez (shoulder), Ballard's rehab has taken on a different context. If he can get on the field for the offseason program, he'll be the temporary No. 1 pass-catching tight end at practices. Ballard caught 38 passes for 604 yards and four touchdowns while with the Giants during the 2011 season. He sustained a torn left ACL during that year's Super Bowl.
