Running back Ty Montgomery suffered what appeared to be a serious ankle injury during Friday night’s New England Patriots’ preseason finale.
One play later, another important Patriot left the field, as friendly fire from right guard Mike Onwenu landed wide receiver Jakobi Meyers in the sideline medical tent.
The 350-pound Onwenu landed on Meyers during a 5-yard carry by Rhamondre Stevenson. The wideout exited the Patriots’ 23-6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and did not return. The rest of New England’s offensive starters played two additional series before being relieved by backups.
The nature and severity of Meyers’ injury weren’t clear as of Saturday morning.
