New England Patriots linebacker Raekwon McMillan was placed on injured reserve Thursday with a partially torn Achilles, according to Jeff Howe and Chad Graff of The Athletic. The 27-year-old suffered the injury during practice.
McMillan, a second-round pick in 2017, is entering his third season with New England and was set to be a big part of the team's linebacker corps following an up-and-down season in 2022 in which he had 35 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in 16 games.
He was re-signed to one-year, $1.6 million contract earlier in the offseason.
