"Although that didn't ultimately happen, they were able to walk out with their ninth-straight win, but at the cost of losing some valuable players across the team. Among the most notable injuries was rookie starting left tackle Will Campbell, who was carted to the locker room late in the game, prompting many to believe the absolute worst about his impending future."
"It's not the best news that could come out as they prepare for their last primetime game of the season, but it's certainly not the worst, either. Will Campbell is headed to IR, putting a lot of pressure on the rest of the Patriots o-line to step things up. Based on how serious Campbell's injury looked this past Sunday, it's a relief that he didn't suffer something that was season-ending."
"It's not great that he will be out for at least four games, especially since he's impressed this season and will miss a few tough matchups. However, if the Patriots are heading toward the playoffs, which is what their future looks like right now, it's better that he miss time now and be ready to go for those important games instead."
The New England Patriots won their Week 12 game against the Bengals but suffered multiple injuries, including rookie starting left tackle Will Campbell. Campbell was carted off late in the game and diagnosed with an MCL sprain. Head coach Mike Vrabel announced Campbell will be placed on injured reserve and will miss at least four games, with a chance to return for the playoffs. The absence increases pressure on the Patriots offensive line, though the injury avoids being season-ending. The team aims for Campbell to rehab and rejoin the roster in time for postseason play, relying on available depth.
