For the first time since suffering a hip injury in Week 6, New England Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib spoke with the media Thursday, which could be a sign that the defensive back is closing in on a return -- perhaps as soon as Monday night. He officially deemed himself "day to day" but again was on the practice field, for the team's full-pads workout Thursday morning. "Definitely, man, anytime you have to watch the guys go to war without you, man, that's the worst thing in the world," he said. Source: ESPN DaBears22's Take: Patriots are ranked 12th in passing defense so if they do get Talib back on Monday vs the Panthers, that would be good news for them. Panthers are rolling right now, this could be a great game to watch. Brady vs that defense.
