Pro Football Rumors
The Patriots improved to 3-2 with last night’s win in Buffalo. The team will be shorthanded on offense for the remainder of the season, though.
Antonio Gibson suffered an ACL tear on Sunday, as first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Gibson was quickly ruled out of last night’s game after suffering the injury. Further testing took place today, including an MRI. The results confirm Gibson will be sidelined the rest of the way.
That news marks a notable blow to New England’s rushing attack. Gibson had been chipping in as a part-time contributor on offense in 2025, similar to last season. The 27-year-old’s statline for the year will include 112 scrimmage yards and one touchdown, a far cry from his high-end campaigns at the beginning of his career with Washington. Gibson is under contract through 2026.
None of the former third-rounder’s salary for next year ($2.85MM) is guaranteed, however. Especially in the wake of today’s injury news, Gibson’s time in New England could very well come to an end this spring. In any case, the team will now need to move forward with Rhamondre Stevenson and second-round rookie TreVeyon Henderson leading the way in terms of backfield usage.
