Patriots Are NFL's First Team to 10 Wins, Suddenly Fighting Injury Bug with a Game Left Before Bye

Rookie left tackle Will Campbell is likely headed to injured reserve with an MCL sprain but may return for playoffs, as the Patriots hold an NFL-best 10-2 record.

  • On Monday, new details showed New England Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell was carted off in the third quarter during the 26-20 Week 12 win at PayCor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.
  • During a TreVeyon Henderson run, a Cincinnati Bengals player fell into Campbell's knee; he was helped to the sideline and carted to the locker room after a brief blue medical tent evaluation.
  • NFL Network reported that Ian Rapoport said Campbell is believed to have an MCL sprain and will have an MRI, while experts Dr. Jesse Morse and Dr. David J. Chao noted recovery can vary from 2 to 8 weeks.
  • Ian Rapoport reported that Campbell is a candidate for Injured Reserve, meaning he could miss at least four games, while Mike Vrabel, New England Patriots head coach, said the injury will `probably be more than a week or two`.
  • With the Patriots 10-2, they sit atop the AFC and AFC East and next host the New York Giants at Gillette Stadium on Monday, December 1, making Campbell's absence significant for their playoff push.
