These injured Patriots players are the main beneficiaries of the bye week

The New England Patriots have set themselves three simple goals for their bye week, and getting proper rest is one of them. The Patriots, after all, have played a game in 13 straight weeks and as a result of the wear and tear have several players dealing with injuries that have either been listed on previous practice reports or came up in last Monday’s game versus the Buffalo Bills.

Needless to say that they are the ones benefitting the most from the bye: they can enjoy some much-needed time away from the grind that is practice and game day, and get themselves in the best possible shape for New England’s stretch run.
