Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes talked recently about the fact he was glad to be back in New England, but his future may potentially be up in the air following a report on Sunday that may find him in some trouble.
According to MyFoxBoston, a vehicle registered to the veteran linebacker was reportedly found abandoned on Saturday night at around 3:30am, which came following state troopers responding to a report of a car with front-end damage in the median strip of the highway on I-495 in Foxborough.
That car reportedly belonged to Spikes, with the vehicle's OnStar system saying that the owner reported hitting a deer. No deer was said to be found near the scene.
To make matters worse, the report claims a 2009 Nissan Murano was reported having been rear-ended nearby by a car they didn't see, with three passengers being taken to the hospital and examined and treated for minor injuries.
If the accident ends up being connected to Spikes' car, it may end up being spelling the end of what could have been his second chance as a Patriot, and likely won't help him landing a job somewhere else if that's how it plays out.
Hopefully more details will come out and, for Spikes' sake, that won't be the case. No charges have reportedly been filed yet, and the investigation is still ongoing.
