"So far this season, the New England Patriots have been one of the most fortunate teams, avoiding the injury bug that has plagued many others across the league. That was until they faced the Bengals in what appeared to be a cursed Week 12 game for both teams, as many players left with potential serious injuries. The Patriots dealt with the more serious blows, with two rookie starting offensive linemen, Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, exiting the field on carts after suffering leg injuries on Sunday."
"But that's not where it ended. Superstar safety Brenden Schooler also left the game with an ankle injury, along with DT Khyiris Tonga, who left the matchup with a chest injury. It's terrible news for a team without a bye until Week 14, and a Monday Night Football game next on the docket. On top of that, if any of these players are set to miss significant time, that certainly puts a wrench in their playoff plans, which could be seriously impacted by their absences."
"I don't have an update on anybody right now, unfortunately. I appreciate you all talking about the injuries this week, so thanks."
The New England Patriots entered the season with relatively few serious injuries but sustained multiple potential major injuries in Week 12 versus the Bengals. Two rookie starting offensive linemen, Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, were carted off with leg injuries. Safety Brenden Schooler exited with an ankle injury, and defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga left with a chest issue. The team has no bye until Week 14 and faces Monday Night Football next, raising immediate concerns about depth, preparation, and potential impacts on playoff positioning if any of the injured miss significant time. Head coach Mike Vrabel responded with a sarcastic, superstitious remark about prior talk of luck.
