Team thinks Burkhead tore his ACL

[sb1]

Because of course he did.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

A solid patriot during his time here. Sadly this was prob his last game as a Pat.

 

[scott99]

So horrible, I feel so bad, I love Burkhead, he’s been a helluva Patriot since he’s been here. He’ll be missed. Came up big during the 2018 SB run.

 

[Nikolai]

Really, really sucks. He's been a bright spot this year, and like mentioned above, had a couple legendary moments leading up to #6. If it's indeed his last game in a Pats uniform, then I wish him the best. It's a jersey I would be proud to wear for years to come.

 

[203Pat]

Brutal. Even worse because now Sony gets back on the field.

 

[Mack Herron]

Free agent next year. Horrible way to end his Pats career.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Brutal. Even worse because now Sony gets back on the field.

Or more inside handoffs to White?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Tough news, sony gonnna hafta stay healthy now

 

[Family]

Any chance JJ gets a spin once he's healed?

Sorry about Burkhead. Great guy to have on your team.

 

[scott99]

Maybe JJ Taylor gets some carries/catches now.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

I appreciate Rex. Always gave 150%. Continued the excellence from Woodhead. Hope James White gets his workload and Harris gets 25 carries a game. McDaniels stop trying to falsely elevate Sony or Harry into the game plan because they were your picks.

White needs to just be a 3rd down/passing back. Harris needs to take Burkheads touches.

continued the excellence from Woodhead

Vareen, Lewis, White took that over before Burkhead.

Yeah, was a bit of a drought at the white RB position between Woodhead and Burkhead

Amen. God bless and Godspeed, Rex. You have indeed been a helluva Patriot.

 

[archstanton543]

At least it's not a concussion...but yeah. He's done. The happiest guy in the world is Sony Michell.

 

[Joker]

The good Lord sent him a son on Tuesday....one door closes, another opens in this life. Rex is a success story and will continue to be. Thanks for giving us 100% every snap, Rex.

He got some grief around these parts a few years ago, but it was undeserved. B has been a very productive and important player, especially this year. You could make the argument that he was one of the most valuable players this season.

I suspect this means the end of his run here, but I’ll remember him fondly.

Might be the end of his run period, the play didnt look like much but I guess he twisted just right. He gave us out money's worth, was a good Pat.

 

[Froob]

Damn, hope this isn’t the end for him. Love Rex Burkhead, he’s a champion in the truest sense.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Again really sad to see. Wish him the best. Appreciate everything he did. Got to live the dream , a NFL player for years.

Not to make light of this, but I wonder if there's another short kid in this year's draft set to go undrafted with a last name ending in -head
