How the Patriots will likely have to figure out a way to fill the void that James Develin's likely season-ending injury leaves.
I consider Patriots fullback James Develin to be an underrated part of the offense. Fullbacks that can run block, run on short yardage situations, pass block, and catch are a rare find and Develin was one of them. Right now there are conflicting reports for the time table of his recovery, which in those cases I typically err towards the longer road to recovery. What we do know is that Develin broke the tibia in his right leg and that he had surgery at a Charlotte hospital.
