Patriots injury update: RB Jeremy Hill injured his knee on fumble return, OUT for the game

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury against the Houston Texans. He has been declared OUT for the game.

Tom Brady connected with Rob Gronkowski for a 29-yard gain, but Texans defensive back Kareem Jackson punched the ball out and it was recovered by Tyrann Mathieu. Mathieu scampered around the open field trying to find a crease for a return, but failed to do so.

During the return, Jeremy Hill was in position to make a stop, but fullback James Develin came in from a different direction and hit Hill’s right knee.
