Yesterday, we and others wondered aloud as to why Eli Rogers didn’t see a single snap against the New England Patriots. He was healthy and the rest of the receiving group wasn’t. Sammie Coates could barely see the field with a hand injury and Markus Wheaton continued to miss because of a bum shoulder.
Rogers said he was healthy and wouldn’t specify why exactly he, the team’s starting slot receiver, didn’t play. Either by inside knowledge or some reporter’s intuition, Mike Prisuta wondered if Rogers broke a team rule.
