Unfortunate injury news continues to dominate headlines in the NFL so far this season, with the Patriots being spared of anything significant so far (fingers crossed it remains that way). The same cannot be said about their upcoming opponents, however, which certainly works in their favor when looking ahead on the schedule.
The first major injury news came following their Week 2 win over the Dolphins, as Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a severe turf toe injury that will require surgery. He is expected to be out for three months, sidelining him for their visit to New England on November 23.
