The New England Patriots held a comparatively light practice on Sunday morning, but the session still saw one of the team’s players leave with an apparent injury: tight end Jonnu Smith departed after getting hurt during a 1-on-1 period early in practice. He landed awkwardly during the low-speed drill, and spent time with the training staff before eventually leaving for the locker room.
While Smith getting injured was a scary moment during an otherwise uneventful session, he apparently dodged a bullet. According to a report by ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss, the 25-year-old suffered a low left ankle sprain that was not considered serious based on the initial diagnosis.
