The New England Patriots’ first joint practice session against the visiting New Orleans Saints today was marked by sloppy offensive play and two injuries suffered by vital members of the Patriots: wide receiver Julian Edelman and defensive end Rob Ninkovich.
Initial reports have been positive regarding the foot injury Edelman suffered. The severity of Ninkovich’s injury, on the other hand, is not yet known.
He and the Patriots will have to wait until the results of an MRI are in to know the severity of – as we now know – the triceps injury that forced the veteran to leave today’s practice, according to Mike Reiss:
Patriots DE Rob Ninkovich is scheduled to undergo MRI to determine severity of triceps injury that knocked him out of practice.
