Some may argue that the New York Jets are catching the New England Patriots at a bad time. New England is coming off a beatdown by the Las Vegas Raiders, and Drake Maye has reset his factory settings on being a great quarterback.
However, some important injury updates favor the Jets. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport revealed to X, “Patriots OT Will Campbell, whose day was cut today due to injury, is believed to have suffered a knee sprain, sources said, and he will have an MRI tomorrow to confirm. It will likely keep him out for a while.”
Campbell has only given up one sack this season. New England will be down their starting left tackle for this home game against the Jets.
David Bailey is coming off the best game of his career with his three sack performance in Week 5. He should be licking his chops.
Now, personally, I wouldn’t mind Bailey going up against the arms of a T. rex, out of reach top shelf stuff, but going up against his backup is good news for the Jets.
It’s also worth noting that the Patriots lost running back TreVeyon Henderson, who injured an ankle in Week 5. So his status is also very much up in the air.
“The Patriots have been bitten, placing 19 players on injured reserve this year, surpassing their total from all of last season (17),” ESPN’s Mike Reiss revealed.
