The New England Patriots will be operating without a key special teams cog for a while.
New England announced it placed special teamer Cody Davis on injured reserve Tuesday after the nine-year veteran suffered a knee injury in the team’s 38-15 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Davis, 33, has appeared in each of the Patriots’ six games this season and leads the team in special teams tackles.
In addition to Davis’ placement on IR, the Patriots cut kicker Tristian Vizcaino from their practice squad. The 26-year-old’s second stint in New England started on Sept.
