The Patriots reportedly have high hopes that their highest-paid defensive player could return to play before the end of this year.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Matthew Judon, who suffered a torn lower bicep tendon last week, could be back on the field in about two months. Rapoport added that the timetable could be based on how well the 31-year-old’s elected surgery on Oct. 4 went. He said December is a “realistic goal” for Judon’s return.
Judon suffered the injury against the Dallas Cowboys in Texas on Oct. 1.
