Well, a quiet Sunday afternoon suddenly isn’t. The Patriots got a double whammy on Sunday when they learned to Dion Lewis needs another surgery and will be out an additional 8-10 weeks, and right tackle Sebastian Vollmer is likely headed to IR for a balky shoulder that required surgery. Vollmer has been on PUP since training camp began because of a hip injury. The news was first reported by Jim McBride of the Boston Globe.

Vollmer could conceivably still play in 2016. If the Patriots decide to place Vollmer on the IR, under the new rules, he could return later in the season.
