This isn’t even close to the first time the Patriots’ eulogies have been written over a seemingly significant player loss, short-term or long. It’s just the latest. But one of these days, they’ll be proven true.
This could be the one. They’re losing running back Dion Lewis for at least the first six weeks of the regular season, according to reports. According to another report, they’re losing veteran tackle Sebastian Vollmer for the same period of time, and possibly the entire season. And Shaq Mason, their second-year guard, reportedly has a broken hand.
