Patriots Malcolm Mitchell Suffers Arm Injury vs Saints

Ian Logue

The Patriots are no strangers to injuries and while the hope was to avoid a repeat of the problems they had in 2015, they suffered a tough loss on Thursday night in their first preseason game against the Saints.

Sorry I don't have a link, but Howe is reporting dislocated elbow and the expectation is out our four weeks.

bummer, he was doing well until going down. I guess he can take this time to stick his nose in the playbook.

The injury looked gruesome. It looked like a compound fracture, I thought for sure season ending IR. In hindsight, 4 weeks is good news.

They were actually talking about how much into the playbook he's been already on 98.5. More study time for the kid. I hope he's back to contribute this season.

If that is the case talk about dodging a bullet. It looked really bad...will be great to see him back in action later on.

I'm sure we'll know a bit more tomorrow, so I'm tempering my enthusiasm. But if true, great news. We've dodged some, huh - Edelman, Ninko and potentially Mitchell?

Like how he balls.
So he will be back between week 1 and week 2 reg season.
Nice kid has some skills.
Reminds me of Marvin Jones

Wow, only 4 weeks recovery. I really hope they keep him on the roster and don't IR him.

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

All things considered, we've had a fantastic few days in terms of injuries. Edelman broke his foot again, Ninkovich tore his triceps and was out for the season and Mitchell was on IR tonight before he got to the locker room. We've been very lucky.

I'll take it. Lol

Hope it's true.

Hope it's true.

That's definitely what I heard earlier.

Aka, meaning dislocated.

This is great f+cking news!

My sentiments exactly. Really, if it's a four week injury, that was pretty much the best case scenario here.

Again, if true, then we have really been dodging a lot of injury bullets so far.

This is great f+cking news!

For real dude. The kid definitely seems like he can ball. He has a future in this offense...and dare I say it? He might be one of our best WR draft picks of the past 15 years. Branch and Edelman being the most notable. I would've felt devastated if he was hurt badly enough to go on IR.

Thanks to Google, I knew this beforehand. Glad that it's actually true now. Dude's a gamer for sure.
