The New England Patriots’ defensive line suffered some injuries during Sunday’s win over the New York Jets, and it appears one of them is of the serious variety. Interior lineman Daniel Ekuale is feared to have suffered a torn biceps, as first reported by ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
While more tests have to be conducted before a definitive diagnosis, the Patriots are reportedly bracing for the loss of the rotational defender.
Ekuale, 29, landed awkwardly on his left arm after a run play in the second quarter. He jogged off the field under his own power, and was initially announced as questionable to return.
