FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots top draft choice Isaiah Wynn tore his left Achilles in Thursday's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles and will miss the 2018 season, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Wynn, an offensive tackle/guard out of the University of Georgia, had been working as the Patriots' backup left tackle. This past week, the club explored the possibility of playing him at right tackle, giving him some repetitions with the top unit.
The injury occurred in the first quarter of Thursday's game when Wynn was pass-blocking and came up limping.
