Patriots Lose Key Players to Injury
The New England Patriots suffered a major blow to their roster on Tuesday as they placed three key players on injured reserve. Linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley, running back Damien Harris, and cornerback Jalen Mills were all placed on IR, joining a growing list of Patriots players who have been sidelined by injuries this season.
Bentley, who had been one of the Patriots' most consistent defenders in recent years, suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. The injury is expected to keep Bentley out for the remainder of the season.
Harris, who has been the Patriots' leading rusher this season, suffered a hamstring injury in the same game. The injury is not expected to be as serious as Bentley's, but it could still keep Harris out for multiple weeks.
Mills, who was signed by the Patriots in the offseason to help bolster their secondary, suffered a groin injury in the game against the Jets. The injury is not expected to be long-term, but it could still keep Mills out of the lineup for a few weeks.
The Patriots are now without three of their most important players on both sides of the ball. The injuries could have a major impact on the Patriots' performance in the second half of the season.
Here is a more detailed look at the Patriots' injury report:
* **Linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley:** Torn ACL in left knee; out for season
* **Running back Damien Harris:** Hamstring injury; expected to miss multiple weeks
* **Cornerback Jalen Mills:** Groin injury; expected to miss a few weeks
* **Wide receiver Nelson Agholor:** Ankle injury; questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns
* **Tight end Jonnu Smith:** Ankle injury; questionable for Sunday's game
* **Defensive end Lawrence Guy:** Elbow injury; questionable for Sunday's game
The Patriots will be hoping to get some of their injured players back on the field soon, but for now, they will have to make do with the players they have available. The Patriots will face the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
