New England Patriots - NESN.com
The New England Patriots‘ winning ways continued in Week 10 when they picked up a 28-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team will have to flip the page quickly, though, because they have a short week, as a matchup against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football awaits them in Week 11.
After being underdogs heading into their clash with the Bucs, the Pats are heavy favorites to take down the Jets. While they are fresh off a 27-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns, New York is dealing with several notable injuries heading into this one.
Perhaps the most noteworthy injury involves wide receiver Garrett Wilson. After missing the Jets’ past two games with a knee injury, Wilson returned in Week 10, but he quickly reaggravated the injury and was forced out of the game early.
An initial report from Rich Cimini of ESPN indicated that Wilson will be out for the next three to four weeks due to this injury. When asked about Wilson’s status, New York’s head coach, Aaron Glenn, refused to discuss it, simply telling reporters to ask Cimini since he seems to have all the answers.
“I’m going to pass on talking about injuries since Rich has all the answers, so you guys can get all the injuries from Rich,” Glenn said on Tuesday.
Regardless of what Wilson’s injury timeline actually ends up being, it appears as if his chances of suiting up against the Patriots in Week 11 are low. New England will be sure to bring its A-game one way or another, but Wilson’s potential absence could make the Patriots an even bigger favorite in this one.
