The injury bug has started to hit the Patriots hard this week, as first Nate Solder was placed on the IR, then Tarell Brown, and now linebacker Dont’a Hightower won’t play tomorrow against the Colts. Hightower’s injury isn’t season ending, but he will be missed against Andrew Luck and company.
From Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald:
The Patriots won’t have the leader of their linebacker corps tomorrow against the Colts.
Dont’a Hightower will miss his first game of the season after injuring his ribs in the first quarter against the Cowboys, according to a source.
