Patriots' Will Campbell Suffers Knee Injury in Victory Over Raiders
New England Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell is thought to have suffered a knee sprain during the team's victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The injury occurred in the second quarter when a player fell onto Campbell's right leg, leading to an evaluation by medical staff on the field.
Campbell will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, which is expected to sideline him for some time. This injury is a recurrence, as he previously dealt with a grade 3 MCL sprain in the same knee last season, which kept him out for the remainder of the regular season.
Rookie tackle Caleb Lomu stepped in after Campbell's exit and performed well, allowing no sacks or quarterback hits during his time on the field. The Patriots' offensive line is already facing challenges with multiple players on injured reserve, including starting guard Mike Onwenu. The team is monitoring Campbell's status closely as they prepare for upcoming games.
