The New England Patriots suffered a significant blow on Monday after they placed star defensive end Matthew Judon on the COVID-19 list. The move had fans expecting Judon to be sidelined for Week 17’s bout against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that may not be the case after all. Per NESN’s Zack Cox, the Patriots are optimistic that Judon will be able to return from the COVID-list in time for Sunday’s game.
Jerod Mayo said the Patriots are hoping to get Matthew Judon and Ja'Whaun Bentley back in time for Sunday's game.
