Mike, what's Amendola's status? #GoPats ud83dudc9cud83cudfc8
Jeanine, Amendola left the game and sideline in the second half with one of the independent spotters, so the assumption has been that he is now in the concussion protocol. There has been no update on where that stands, and using history as a guide, the timing of a player's return can vary depending on the severity of the issue. Meanwhile, linebacker Dont'a Hightower appears to have dodged a serious injury, with NFL Network reporting that it is believed he sustained a minor MCL strain.
