Sunday’s victory over the New York Jets wasn’t all good news for the New England Patriots.
They announced they were putting veteran defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale on injured reserve on Tuesday. Cornerback William Hooper was also released from the practice squad.
Ekuale is feared to have suffered a torn biceps following an injury from the Patriots’ Week 3 meeting with the Jets. It’s a tough loss for the Patriots considering how reliable Ekuale was for the team on the defensive front. He was a constant disruptive presence and a legitimate threat as a pass-rusher.
