The Patriots’ already-thin linebacker corps has taken another hit, as New England placed Shilique Calhoun on injured reserve Saturday.
Calhoun has been a limited participant in every practice since the leadup to the Patriots’ game against the Bills in Week 8 due to a knee injury. However, he has not missed any game action.
With the IR rules in place for this season, Calhoun can return in three weeks. He’s recorded 14 tackles and two sacks this season as he’s mostly been used on third-down pass-rush situations.
While one player goes on IR, another player comes off it.
