Patriots lose linebacker to injury late in battle vs. Rams

1 hour ago 1

The New England Patriots have dealt with quite a few injuries in their front seven and things got even worse for the group on Sunday.

In the third quarter of New England's Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Patriots linebacker Curtis Jacobs went down on a kickoff return.

Jacobs wasn't involved in the tackle, as he dove at the returner but missed. However, he remained down on the field for a while before eventually walking straight over to the blue medical tent. The team announced that he's out for the game with a head injury.

Entering this matchup, the undrafted free agent played 19 defensive snaps and 126 on special teams, recording three total tackles.

Without Jacobs, New England will have to rely on Jahlani Tavai, Christian Elliss, Sione Takitaki and practice squad elevation Joe Giles-Harris at the position.
