Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki has a separated shoulder that could cause him to miss some time, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
“Patriots TE Mike Gesicki, who has been impressive early on in camp, suffered a mild dislocated shoulder during yesterday’s practice, source said,” Rapoport tweeted. “While nothing is given, the hope is he’s back for Week 1 despite the AC joint injury.”
The injury happened on Monday during a 1-on-1 tackling drill with Jahlani Tavai. Gesicki left practice early and did not return to the action.
A 6-foot-6 tight end who functions as more of a tall receiver on the field, Gesicki has made a number of acrobatic, one-handed catches during training camp.
