Patriots’ Will Campbell Likely Facing Multi-Week Absence After Knee Injury With MRI Pending

Coach Mike Vrabel expects the rookie to miss multiple weeks pending MRI confirmation.

Overview

  • Campbell, the No. 4 pick, was carted off with a right knee injury in the third quarter of New England’s 26-20 win at Cincinnati that moved the Patriots to 10-2.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Campbell is believed to have an MCL sprain and will undergo an MRI, noting he is a potential injured reserve candidate.
  • Vrabel said he does not expect Campbell to play in Week 13 against the Giants and indicated the timetable is longer than a week or two.
  • Rookie guard Jared Wilson left the game with a right ankle injury and was seen in a walking boot, with Ben Brown and Vederian Lowe stepping in on the offensive line.
  • Elsewhere in Week 12 injuries, Bengals WR Tee Higgins entered concussion protocol, Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield scheduled an MRI on a left shoulder injury that Bowles said might be an AC sprain, and Saints RB Alvin Kamara underwent evaluation on a right knee issue.
