NFL rumors: Patriots LB Brandon Copeland to miss rest of 2020 season with injury

The New England Patriots have lost another linebacker.

Brandon Copeland suffered a torn pectoral muscle in Sunday's Week 7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and will miss the remainder of the 2020 NFL season, according to ProFootballTalk.

Copeland joined the Patriots as a free agent on a one-year contract in March. He spent the two previous seasons with the New York Jets.

The 29-year-old linebacker played in six of the first seven games for the Patriots this season. He tallied six solo tackles with one pass defensed.
