After 2 seasons in Miami, where he was sparsely used having played in just 21 of the 32 games, Brandon Gibson was signed by the Patriots as a free agent this offseason. By all accounts, he was having a great preseason... until the 2nd preseason game.
When the Patriots took on the Saints, Gibson landed awkwardly on his leg and hobbled off the field with a leg injury. The diagnosis wasn't clear until the MRI came down yesterday and revealed a torn ACL. Gibson will miss the rest of the season.
In 2 preseason games with the Pats, Gibson had 12 receptions for 97 yards.
