Starting left tackle Nate Solder missed practice yesterday and missed most of the fourth quarter last Sunday with a concussion. It was his second concussion in two weeks and it left his status very much in doubt for this week's pivotal game against the Ravens
ProFootballTalk:
Solder did not practice at all on Wednesday, but the Patriots announced that he was participating in practice on Thursday. There was no indication of how much work Solder did during the session, although he will almost certainly be listed as he makes his way through the full concussion protocol.
That's right, he's back!
Kind of.
We have no idea how much work he put in, and just because he's practicing doesn't mean that he'll necessarilly pass the NFL's concussion protocol and be cleared to play.
Still, it's an encouraging sign. Solder had missed practice time last week with a concussion also before ultimately returning late in the week and then playing in the game.
Solder isn't the only one you can be optimistic about either. Rookie receiver Aaron Dobson looks like he'll be giving it a go soon as well.
I asked Aaron Dobson if he's going to play this weekend "I think so. I think so." Says his foot is "feeling good."

That's right, folks. It's all roses from here on out.
All. Roses.
