"The first major injury news came following their Week 2 win over the Dolphins, as Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a severe turf toe injury that will require surgery. He is expected to be out for three months, sidelining him for their visit to New England on November 23. That's significant news for what will be a tough matchup for a revamped Patriots team, despite the fact that they snuck out a win against the Bengals in the season opener last year."
"On Monday afternoon, the Panthers announced they were moving two starting offensive linemen to injured reserve, with no timetable immediately available about their impending returns. Because they face the Patriots on the road in Week 4, it will be tough for them to find any suitable backups to give their offense a legitimate chance to shut down the consistently impressive Patriots front seven, especially since they currently lead the league in sacks."
Injury news has affected several NFL teams while the Patriots remain largely healthy. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow sustained a severe turf toe requiring surgery and is expected to miss about three months, removing him from the November 23 matchup in New England. The Panthers placed two starting offensive linemen on injured reserve, leaving no immediate timetable for returns. Carolina faces the Patriots in Week 4 and will struggle to replace those starters against a Patriots front seven that currently leads the league in sacks. Patriots defenders such as Christian Barmore, Harold Landry III, and Milton Williams stand to benefit from weakened opposing protection.
