Moss' Sore Hammy Worth Watching Closely

WR Randy Moss was having an outstanding start to training camp by all accounts, until he pulled up lame with a left hamstring injury while sprinting downfield Wednesday. He sat out Thursday's practice and was called day-to-day by always tight-lipped coach Bill Belichick.

The good news for the Patriots is Moss walked off the field under his own power with the leg wrapped. But the concerning aspect is a continuing trend of nagging injuries for the 30-year-old receiver. While he missed just four games in two years with Oakland, he was slowed late last season by an ankle injury and played through groin, knee and rib injuries in 2005.

While the hamstring doesn't appear to be a serious setback at this point, any hint of a trend of leg problems for a receiver entering his 30s who relies heavily on his game-breaking speed has to be a major concern for Belichick & Co.
