"After avoiding the injury bug for a majority of the 2025 season, the New England Patriots were plagued with what appeared to be serious losses in their Week 12 win against the Bengals. Not only did they lose starting lineman Jared Wilson on the first drive of the game, but they later lost rookie left tackle Will Campbell, too, both of whom were carted to the locker room, ending their day."
"It looked like a disastrous outing for the Patriots, despite the eventual win, but they were given some good news about their diagnoses on Monday morning. In what appeared to be the worst-case scenario with Campbell, he was reported to have suffered an MCL sprain that should only sideline him for a few weeks. Head coach Mike Vrabel further clarified that it shouldn't end his season, which is crucial given the Patriots' playoff outlook."
"The news got even better when NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed the outlook regarding Wilson's injury, which couldn't have been better news considering the significant loss the offensive line is already dealing with. According to the insider, Wilson suffered a high-ankle sprain, and the hope is that it won't keep him out for the final five games. If so, given that the expectation is up to six weeks to heal from such injury, he will be back for the playoffs."
After avoiding major injuries for most of 2025, the New England Patriots lost starters Jared Wilson and rookie left tackle Will Campbell during the Week 12 win over the Bengals. Wilson was carted off after being rolled up on the first series and later diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain that is considered week-to-week with hopes of a shorter recovery. Campbell suffered an MCL sprain expected to sideline him for only a few weeks and not end his season, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Both diagnoses reduce immediate concern for the Patriots' offensive line ahead of the playoff push.
