Patriots | Koppen expected to fully recover from last season's injury – if all goes to plan
Sat, 25 Mar 2006 21:51:43 -0800

Michael Felger, of the Boston Herald, reports it was learned last week that New England Patriots OC Dan Koppen (shoulder) suffered a badly torn rotator cuff (in addition to a dislocated shoulder) in the Patriots' Nov. 13 win at Miami last season. The injury knocked Koppen out the remainder of the year and set him on a rehab program that has only recently seen him turn the corner. A source close to Koppen said last week that a full recovery is expected and that if everything goes according to plan. "My only expectation is that I will be 100 percent at some point," Koppen said. The rotator cuff injury is particularly concerning because Koppen's calling card is his upper-body strength.

those crazy pats sure do keep the lid on tight, considering this injury report is only about 4 months late.
