FOXBORO - The Corey Dillon Watch can officially be abandoned.

"I know you guys is waiting for this big eruption and it's not gonna happen, I'm telling you," Dillon said in the locker room this morning. "That volcano done blew it's top a long time ago. It's not gonna happen. It's done. It's done. I'm calm. I'm just ready to work."

Dillon has been a model Patriot on and off the field since leaving behind a tumultuous past in Cincinnati.

But after running for just 99 yards in his first two games this season, there was curiosity about whether the 31-year-old would reach a state of agitation.

We'll have more on the running game and how it shapes up with Sunday's opponent the Steelers in tomorrow's Journal.

A practice and injury report will be filed here before 5 p.m.

Thanks for checking in,

Tom
