Logan Mankins has a walking boot

Logan Mankins left yesterday's game with a pretty severe looking ankle injury. However, it wasn't so severe that the man had to miss much playing time. That's just the kind of guy Logan Mankins is.

Maybe it was severe enough though that it requires him to walk in a walking boot, or at least have one on hand.

Boston Herald:
Logan Mankins had some new footware in his locker, and they weren't the latest Jordans.

Mankins had a walking boot lying next to his jeans in front of his locker this afternoon. He suffered an ankle injury yesterday in the second quarter, and it appeared serious because he was assisted to the sideline and quickly disappeared to the locker room for further testing. Yet, he only missed a series before returning to the field. He did stay on the sideline toward the end of the game when the outcome was in hand.

Logan Mankins doesn't wear walking boots, he collects them.

How does point out the possibility this was just planted there to plant the seed in the minds of future Patriots opponents.
