The New England Patriots became the first team in the NFL to reach 10 wins on the season, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 12 by the score of 26-20, putting them in the No. 1 seed in the AFC in the process.
However, despite getting to 10-2 on the year, the Patriots suffered what could be a massive injury that impacts the rest of the season. Rookie left tackle Will Campbell was carted to the locker room after suffering a leg injury. The immediate concern, of course, was that it could be a season-ending ACL injury. However, Mike Vrabel as told the media that they currently don't believe that is the case.
"Mike Vrabel with some context on LT Will Campbell’s right knee injury — he says he doesn’t currently believe it would be season-ending," ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Campbell has been tremendous as a rookie. PFF grades him as the 27th graded tackle among 77 qualified players, and he has a grade north of 70 as an overall grade and as a pass blocker.
The Patriots will host the New York Giants in Week 13 on Monday Night Football as they look to get to 11-2 and sprint towards locking up an AFC East championship.
