Injury analysis: What does his medical record say about new Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor?

With their wide receiver position among the least productive in the league last season, the New England Patriots were prompted to make aggressive moves in free agency. One potential upgrade brought on board was Nelson Agholor: a former Philadelphia Eagles first-round draft pick, Agholor entered free agency off an impressive one-year stint with the Las Vegas Raiders — earning himself a two-year, $22 million contract.

Agholor’s skills as a deep-field wide receiver are well-documented, but one of his most impressive traits is his ability to stay on the field. He did miss some time due to injury in the past, but still appeared in 132 out of a possible 142 combined college and pro games (one of his absences came after getting benched back in 2016).
