Raekwon McMillan’s Patriots tenure hit another setback Thursday.
The Patriots placed the veteran linebacker on injured reserve after two organized team activities practices. McMillan suffered a partially torn Achilles in practice, per a report from The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
McMillan missed the entire 2021 campaign with a torn ACL but returned to play in 16 games for the Patriots last season, tallying 35 tackles and five tackles for loss and returning a fumble for a touchdown in a December win over Arizona. He played 250 snaps on defense and was one of New England’s most active special teamers, logging an additional 277 snaps in the kicking game.
