The New England Patriots moved linebacker Harvey Langi to injured reserve and released safety Elijah Benton from the practice squad on Tuesday.
Langi, 29, reportedly suffered a sprained MCL in New England’s 54-13 win over the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium. Sunday marked the first start of the season for the Brigham Young product, who arrived as an undrafted free agent in 2017 and returned on a one-year deal in May. Langi has recorded two tackles through seven games this fall, seeing 16 snaps on defense and 98 snaps on special teams.
