Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount To Be Placed On IR With Hip Injury

If the New England Patriots want to win another Super Bowl championship this season they’ll have to do it without running back LeGarrette Blount.

Blount, who has gained 703 yards and 6 touchdowns on 165 rushes this season, will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list by the Patriots on Wednesday with a hip injury. Blount suffered that injury during the Sunday night game against the Houston Texans.

Blount, who started the 2014 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers after signing a two-year contract earlier that offseason, was ultimately waived after 11 games after he walked off the field disgruntled prior to the game against the Tennessee Titans ended.
