"Patriots offensive lineman Logan Mankins will report by Nov. 16, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Mankins, a restricted free agent who has been sitting out since the start of spring practices because he's upset about his contract situation, will report on recommendation from the National Football League Players Association, according to several sources. Mortensen says Mankins will report to the Patriots to earn an accrued season and secure unrestricted free agency in 2011 (WEEI)."
I haven't really noticed a lot of offensive line problems for the Patriots this year, but obviously getting a Pro Bowler back never hurts. This is a smart move by Mankins, so that he can become a free agent in 2011.
It is also being reported that Vincent Jackson is going to do the same thing, so if he is a free agent in your fantasy league you may want to jump on him now. The Players Association was the one who urged both of them to report back to their teams by this date.
