Report: Patriots’ pass-rusher feared to have a torn biceps

The injury bug has been relentless for the New England Patriots.

On Tuesday, ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported that defensive lineman Daniel Ekuale is believed to have suffered a torn biceps. He will undergo more testing to be sure, but the initial diagnosis isn’t good for the veteran pass-rusher.

Losing Ekuale would be tough for New England considering he has been a reliable playmaker for the team in pass-rushing packages. He was the team’s highest-graded player in the Week 3 game against the New York Jets, per Pro Football Focus.
