Patriots hopeful injured Mike Gesicki will be back for start of regular season, per report

Mike Gesicki is expected to miss some time after getting banged up during Monday’s training camp practice.

The New England Patriots tight end hurt his shoulder in a one-on-one tackling drill, and was unable to finish the session. While there is some uncertainty still about the type of injury Gesicki sustained, the team is reportedly hopeful that he will not miss any regular season snaps.

“The hope is he’s back for Week 1,” noted NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Patriots will open their regular season against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles on Sept.
