The New England Patriots received some (relatively) good injury news on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai suffered what sounded like a serious injury<\/a> at practice just one day prior, leaving the session after remaining down for an extended period during team drills. New England\u2019s coaches reportedly shut the music off, while teammates kneeled around him and offered their support before Jabrill Peppers and Mike Onwenu eventually helped him off the field.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not as serious as we all thought, though.<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday that the veteran linebacker will be sidelined until training camp<\/a>, which might not sound positive, but is a welcome development considering he could only put minimal pressure on his leg when leaving the field.<\/p>\n Tavai\u2019s value is rooted in his ability to play on and off the ball, with\u00a0other members of the linebacking corps<\/a>\u00a0like Jack Gibbens, Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss primarily spending their time in the middle of the defense. ESPN\u2019s Mike Reiss reported that he had primarily been playing alongside Spillane<\/a> during the spring, though.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n The Patriots will return to a full-time practice schedule next week.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New England Patriots received some (relatively) good injury news on Tuesday.
