Just discussed on @GMFB: #Patriots LT Will Campbell is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain and will have an MRI on his knee, sources said. He's a candidate for Injured Reserve, with the hope he returns when it counts the most. pic.twitter.com/2E6kg12izj
Campbell, 21, has proved a solid addition to the Patriots' line in his rookie season. Thanks, in part, to his protection, second-year quarterback Drake Maye has developed into an MVP candidate.
While Campbell will undergo additional tests Monday, it's possible he's able to return before the end of the regular season.
