The New England Patriots have been plagued by injuries all year long. True to form, four players left Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. One of the four, defensive tackle Dominique Easley, has been placed on injured reserve yesterday. The other three were the only players not to practice today.
Via patriots.com, here is New England's first injury report of the week:
LeGarrette Blount, Jonathan Freeny and Devin McCourty all left last Sunday's win in Houston. The injuries to Freeny and McCourty are not considered overly serious but probably will still force them to miss some time.
