The New England Patriots' front seven has struggled this season, and they suffered another loss on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium that will make things more difficult.
In the second quarter, Patriots linebacker Sione Takitaki hit Dolphins tight end Julian Hill after losing the ball, and the veteran linebacker remained down on the field.
Takitaki remained on the ground for a bit, walked off the field under his own power and left for the blue medical tent on New England's sideline.
The Patriots signed Takitaki to a two-year $6.65 million deal this offseason.
