With Ja’Whaun Bentley out, his ‘right hand man’ Raekwon McMillan has a chance to shine

Raekwon McMillan is no stranger to the frustration that comes with suffering a season-ending injury. He has experienced that feeling twice in his four years with the Patriots after tearing his ACL in 2021 and his achilles in 2023.

But now, McMillan is healthy and he has a big opportunity in front of him with fellow linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle.

McMillan was the next man up after Bentley went down last Sunday, and while he empathizes with his teammate, he’s also excited to show what he can do.
