Through five days worth of training camp practices, the New England Patriots have been spared any major injuries. The only real in-session scare came on Friday, when defensive lineman Byron Cowart stayed on the ground after a drill and had to be attended by trainers. While the rookie went off the field under his own power, he did not finish the session and has not been spotted during the three following practices as well.
However, it appears as if there is little cause for actual concern. According to the Boston Herald’s Kevin Duffy, Cowart is dealing with a quad injury — one that was subsequently described as ‘minor’ by The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
