The New England Patriots had to deal with a variety of issues during their lackluster 2023 season, and injuries were right near the top of the list. The team lost several key contributors either in the short or the long term, including edge linebacker Matthew Judon.
Judon went down with a biceps injury in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys. While there was some initial optimism that he might be able to return down the stretch, he eventually was forced to spend the remainder of the season recovering — a process that continued to extend into the offseason.
