According to the Boston Herald's Jeff Howe, the New England Patriots could lose wide receiver Brian Tyms for the upcoming season. ESPN's Mike Reiss adds that the injury was to the deep threat's foot. Foot injuries aren't to be trifled with and we hope Tyms has a speedy recovery.
Tyms was battling for one of the final receiver roster spots, offering additional value over his competitors as a special teams gunner. The team has finished the past two seasons with five wide receivers on the roster, not including special teams ace Matthew Slater.
