During the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans, New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead sustained a knee injury following a helmet hit by Texans defensive back Bradley Roby.
Burkhead was immediately taken into the blue medical tent and later carted off the field, he would not return.
Although no official word on the injury has yet to be confirmed by the team, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reports the Patriots “fear” a torn ACL and are awaiting MRI results.
On his social media accounts Tuesday, Burkhead did confirm his 2020 season is in fact over.
