"The New England Patriots have been relatively lucky in that they have avoided major injuries to some of their most important players, but that string of good fortune ran out when rookie left tackle Will Campbell suffered a serious knock in a Week 12 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. After being carted off the field against Cincinnati, it seemed like Drake Maye was going to lose his blind-side protector for the foreseeable future."
"Campbell has been placed on injured reserve, which means he will not be out for the next four games. The soonest Campbell can return is the Week 18 season finale. However, Ian Rapoport said that he will be able to return "shortly" after the four weeks elapse, which could bring him back into the postseason picture. Getting the No. 1 seed not only gives the Patriots home-field advantage throughout the playoffs,"
Rookie left tackle Will Campbell suffered a serious knock in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals and was carted off the field. Campbell has been placed on injured reserve, making him unavailable for the next four games with the earliest return in Week 18. Ian Rapoport indicated Campbell could return "shortly" after the four-week IR window, potentially rejoining the roster for the postseason. Securing the No. 1 seed would provide home-field advantage and an extra week of rest to help ensure Campbell can suit up. Other offensive-line injuries include rookie interior lineman Jared Wilson, with Vederian Lowe a likely left-tackle fill-in.
