FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots placed defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale on injured reserve on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old left in the first half of last week’s 15-10 win over the Jets with an elbow injury and did not return.
Ekuale has played in each of New England’s three games this season, with three tackles and a forced fumble.
He has appeared in 25 games over the past three seasons with the Patriots and been used primarily as a sub in select packages.
New England visits Dallas on Sunday.
