The mystery behind Patriots linebacker Adalius Thomas and his being on the inactive list for Sunday's game didn't get any clearer yesterday. Thomas was a healthy scratch for the first time since his rookie season with the Ravens in 2000, missing the 59-0 beating of the Titans at Gillette Stadium. He wasn't on the injury report all week leading to the game and was not at the stadium Sunday, according to a league source. Source: Boston Globe
I don't know about cutting Bobby Carpenter.. He's not amazing, but he's done his job IMO. But trade for him? I agree. There's no reason to Patriots should even want him out of there..
I would guess either drugs or roids. I have not heard anything just trying to come up with some thing.
