Jerod Mayo suffers knee injury

FreeTedWilliams · Oct 13, 2014

Collins gets the green dot for now. Hopefully Hightower is good to go.

Mayo's injury did not look as bad as Ridley's, but judging by the things the players were saying, I think they know he is done for the year.

PatsFanSince74 · Oct 13, 2014

Season ending and possibly career threatening injuries like this one are why I never begrudge these guys' trying to get every dollar they can during their contract negotiations.

I hope he's well and wish him well.

While Mayos injury is devistating for the team and him personally, we have to remember this team made it all the way to the AFCCG last year with out him and a lot of other starters and key players lost to injury including VW

However that defense was a lot better in the first six games with Mayo (& Wilfork & Kelly) than without him in the last 10 games.

Indeed. But do we know if this team is made up of the same character with better competition in the AFC?

thought we would have heard something on this by now

Still confident in our Front 7/8 -- Mayo is a massive blow to our core ... BUT Ninko/Wilfork/Siliga/Jones/Collins/Hightower is a pretty solid group..and our Defensive backfield is solid to strong (Revis/Mcourty/Browner/Fonzi/Ryan/Arrington) Overall im OK with our D going into the playoffs (as long as we dont lose another big peice..)

Trying to look at the big picture.. but im as gutted as anyone to lose mayo for a 2nd year in a row..

Average score first five games 2013 with Mayo = 14.0
Average score last 10 games 2013 without Mayo = 24.1

Good post. I think there is enough defensive leadership to overcome the loss this season. Will they? That remains to be seen. McCourty, Chung has familiarity, Revis leads by example. My one concern is Wilfork cannot be asked to play high snap counts every game for the rest of the season. He's done it before, but he's getting up there in age and, although he has bounced back extremely well, he is still recovering from major injury.

I dunno if I'd call it good news--my guess would be that they're waiting for the swelling to go down to do a final check before they make anything official--but it's still better than bad news I suppose. Holding out some faint hope still that this might be more of a 6-8 week type injury rather than a season-ender.

Side note: if that does turn out to be the case, this is why I don't like using the in-season IR spot on someone like Siliga. Siliga is a nice player, but you can roughly approximate his production by signing someone who's freely available. That's how he got here just last year. Using that spot on him doesn't make sense to me in the same way that using it on Shiancoe didn't make sense to me two years ago.

IMO, it's pretty reasonable to operate on the assumption that someone who's really, really important to the team--someone like Mayo, or maybe an Edelman or a McCourty or even Gronk or Vollmer--is going to go down with a 6+ week injury at some point during the season.

If Mayo I'd out 6-8 weeks I would definitely keep the spot open for him though since the IRDTR is given to Siligna. Mayo is just too valuable to shut down if there's any chance of him coming back later in the year.

Brady_to_Moss · Oct 13, 2014

I hope the keep him and their are no issues. Huge cap hit next year they have to redo..but has to be done

Urgent · Oct 13, 2014

Still no definitive news.
But Mayo (and Ridley) have already been ruled out for the next game, which the Pats did not need to do.
Further, these comments from Belichick:

Bill Belichick said:
So we will have to put multiple groups, multiple players to do some things that he did. I don’t think there’s one player that’s going to run this team and do all that Jerod did. We were lucky to have him, let alone a guy who can do all that too. It will come from a combination of guys somehow.”

Belichick is pretty good at being general and evasive. That language was more specific.

You have a typo in there. It should have said:
Average score first five games 2013 with Mayo & Wilfork = 14.0
Average score last 10 games 2013 without Mayo & Wilfork = 24.1

Wilfork out, tommy kelly out, talib, dennard and Arrington were all shaken up. Mayo was a reason, but not the only reason

Gronkowski123 · Oct 13, 2014

awaiting the dreaded acl news....

hoping it's somehow just a sprain and mayo comes back later.

JMC00 · Oct 13, 2014

Can this guy be run out of town after the season?

@BenVolin
IMO, losing Ridley is more significant than Mayo. Ridley is best/hardest running/most decisive RB. Need to find a between-the-tackles RB

Somehow a facepalm gif just falls short. This guy simply shouldn't be writing about football.

Bella*chick · Oct 13, 2014

I just read he's out for the year with a lower leg injury that "is bad".

Brady2Gronk · Oct 13, 2014

Schefter just confirmed he out for the yr. FACK!

Brit patriot · Oct 13, 2014

Is Ben Volin for real? Just tweeted this nugget

Fan is short for fanatic. You guys love Mayo for what he has meant to the team over the years. The reality is he’s pretty average now.

Complete clown

We all Knew this might be the diagnosis. But I was hoping for the better news.
