EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Patriots running back Sony Michel was injured early in the third quarter of New England’s game against the Jets Sunday.
Michel missed the rest of the series he was injured on, which ended in a field goal, and the following Patriots drive, but returned with 13:23 left in the fourth quarter.
Michel got twisted up on a run up the middle trying to convert a third-and-1 from the Jets 11-yard line. Michel’s back bent awkwardly as he went to the ground and he remained down for about a minute before two trainers helped him up and supported him as they walked off the field.
