New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai suffered a serious-sounding injury at practice on Monday.<\/p>\n
Tavai, according to multiple reporters<\/a> who were in attendance, left the session after remaining down for an extended period during team drills. New England\u2019s coaches reportedly shut the music off<\/a>, while teammates kneeled around him and offered their support. <\/p>\n Jabrill Peppers and Mike Onwenu eventually helped him off the field, though the veteran linebacker put minimal pressure on his left leg.<\/p>\n The Patriots are in an interesting spot with their linebacking corps, as the new defense being installed requires less depth<\/a> at that position compared to others. Tavai\u2019s value comes in the fact that he can play both on and off the ball, with other members of that group<\/a> like Jack Gibbens, Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss primarily spending their time in the middle of the defense.<\/p>\n NESN.com will provide updates when specifics on the injury are provided.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai suffered a serious-sounding injury at practice on Monday.
