The writing was on the wall, and on Wednesday the move was made official. Will Campbell, the New England Patriots’ starting left tackle, has been placed on injured reserve.

The Patriots’ first-round draft pick earlier this year, Campbell suffered a reported sprained MCL in his right knee during in the third quarter of last week’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals. While the initial outlook appeared grim, there is hope that the 21-year-old will be able to return to the active roster further down the line.

For now, however, let’s find out what the move means for the team.

The New England Patriots returned to the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium on Wednesday for their first practice leading up to their Week 13 game against the New York Giants. While no injury report was released by the club due to the game taking place on Monday, we were able to get a glimpse at who was and wasn’t present at the session.

All in all, six players were missing during the brief media window at the start of the session. That group consisted of starting offensive tackles Will Campbell and Morgan Moses, guard Jared Wilson, linebackers Harold Landry and...

Thanksgiving is on Thursday, and New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has plenty to be thankful for this year.

When reporters asked Maye what he was thankful for on Wednesday, he highlighted his appreciation for his teammates, coaches and fans.

“Thankful for the fanbase…(thankful to) play with these guys, these teammates. It’s been fun,” Maye said, via Patriots on CLNS.

While Maye is thankful for the Patriots’ fans, the fans have to be grateful for him.

Maye is playing like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, throwing for 3,130 yards and 21 touchdowns to six interceptions. However, the...

Bill Belichick isn’t famous for his bedside manner, so Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski don’t have a long list of warm and fuzzy memories with their former New England Patriots head coach.

Edelman and Gronkowski were prompted to name the “friendliest thing” Belichick has ever done for them during their “Dudes on Dudes” podcast. The Super Bowl LIII MVP found a creative way to respond.

“I got to think about it. It’s tough,” Edelman said. “He drafted me. That was the friendliest thing.”

Getting drafted wasn’t a given for Edelman, who went No. 232 overall in 2009. The seventh-rounder turned...

New England Patriots rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell was placed on injured reserve Wednesday and his replacement revealed some shocking news in the wake of the announcement.

Vederian Lowe has played in all 12 games this season and will make his first start of the campaign in Week 13.

The fourth-year pro started in 13 of his 14 games last season, despite suffering a torn labrum last October in Week 8 against the New York Jets.

“I had a torn labrum from last year that I played with,” Lowe said, according to a report by MassLive’s Mark Daniels. “It was...

It’s pretty much impossible to get under Drake Maye’s skin, especially if you’re trying to do so through the media. The New England Patriots quarterback has proved multiple times this year that his humility basically kills any hate or criticism thrown his way in the press.

The most recent example came on Wednesday. With a Patriots-New York Giants matchup looming in Week 13, Giants defensive stud Brian Burns criticized Maye to reporters in an unexpected way, basically saying that Maye sometimes struggles to feel the rush because he is “too poised” and/or too focused on looking downfield.

“He does seem...

Bill Belichick is currently in his inaugural season as the head coach of North Carolina, but there’s a possibility he might make a return to the NFL in the future.

NFL insider Josina Anderson reported on X this Tuesday that several NFL teams are expressing interest in bringing Belichick on board.

“I’m told at least two NFL teams are still expected to have interest in talking to Bill Belichick, behind-the-scenes at the very least, about head coach jobs this Carousel season, per a league source,” Anderson wrote.

“A third team could also enter the mix,” with desires to talk, particularly...

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after a perfect outing against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Borregales connected on all four of his field goal attempts including makes from 41, 45, 19, and 52 yards. The final kick from distance played a key role in New England securing a wide-20 road victory.

“Andy making the kick and making it a touchdown game allowed us just enough time to get them stopped on fourth down,” head coach Mike Vrabel said. “We appreciate what he’s done. I think he has a lot of confidence there...

As the New England Patriots season winds down, attention is shifting toward preparing the team for a potential postseason run.

As the Patriots gear up for the postseason, we might start to see some changes in play-calling, but head coach Mike Vrabel doesn’t expect more designed quarterback runs for Drake Maye.

“You kinda wanna be careful,” Vrabel said on Wednesday, via WEEI’s Tom Carroll. “Guys are going in concussion protocol left and right. We’ll be willing to do anything to win a football game, but I think just being smart is probably the biggest thing. And we’ve run Drake, and...

Injured running back Antonio Gibson became the first New England Patriot to win a player of the week honor since the 2022 season when he captured the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award in September.

As the Patriots enter Week 13 with the best record in the NFL, it’s no surprise that a few of Gibson’s teammates have joined him as winners of the hardware.

The latest is rookie kicker Andy Borregales, who was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday.

“4-for-4,” the Patriots official account posted on X. “Congratulations, @Borregales_andy!”

Borregales is the...

The New England Patriots have officially placed star offensive tackle Will Campbell on injured reserve.

Campbell suffered a knee injury during New England’s Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Following the game, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Campbell’s injury isn’t likely to be a season-ending issue, but he will miss some time.

“He won’t be out there this week and it’s gonna be a couple weeks,” Vrabel said on Monday. “We’ll have to make a decision here on the roster to see how long that’ll be. But, it’s nothing that’s gonna hopefully put him out for the entire...

Mike Vrabel apparently isn’t a big Thanksgiving guy.

As he prepares the New England Patriots for a Week 13 game against the New York Giants, Vrabel wasn’t counting down the hours until he could dig into some turkey. The head coach revealed Wednesday, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss, that Thanksgiving isn’t among his favorite holidays.

“I’d say outside the top three,” Vrabel said. “Probably.”

Christmas and Independence Day are Vrabel’s top choices, and there isn’t a close No. 3.

“Then it’s a toss-up,” he said. “There’s a big dropoff.”

Many Patriots fans are thankful for Vrabel returning to revive the franchise....
