According to the Boston Globe's Shalise Manza Young, New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount has a sprained right MCL. This injury should sideline him for roughly a month as he heals and prepares to return for week 2. Blount's week 1 suspension appears to be a blessing in disguise so the bruising back can fully recover from his injury.

Blount is easily the team's most talented running back and he was having an impressive week in camp.
