FOXBORO -- The New England Patriots were unable to escape Thursday night's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers without several players suffering injuries or getting banged up.
Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy was slow to get up in the first quarter after sacking Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. Van Noy went into the blue medical tent but came back before the first quarter ended. Nate Ebner was shaken up in the second quarter but returned to the game.
Many other Patriots players weren't as lucky as Van Noy and Ebner.
