New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai will be sidelined until at least late July due to a calf injury sustained during organized team activities. The injury occurred during an 11-on-11 drill, leading to Tavai needing assistance off the field. He has been a key part of the defensive unit, often alongside new addition Robert Spillane. In Tavai's absence, players like Christian Elliss are expected to step up. Patriots are concluding OTAs and will enter mandatory minicamp shortly thereafter, raising new challenges for the linebacker corps.
New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai is expected to be sidelined until at least the start of training camp in late July with a calf injury.
Tavai went down away from the ball during an 11-on-11 period in Monday's voluntary organized team activities and stayed down for an extended period of time.
Christian Elliss, Jack Gibbens, Monty Rice and Cam Riley will take on linebacker responsibilities in Tavai's absence, with Elliss projected to take on more responsibilities.
New England will finish OTAs this week before holding mandatory minicamp next week beginning Monday, June 9.
