That looked very bad, Mayo just can't catch a break lately. If it's indeed season ending, we'll pay dearly for our lack of depth at linebacker.

Unfortunate. Next man up.

I thought he re-injured his torn pectoral (which would be worse and harder to come back from)

Knee injury? Verdict still out. Might just be a sprain…. hope he can come back this year

 

[BradyFTW!]

Looked season-ending to me, but so did his knee injury in 2009 that he came back from in a couple weeks, so I'll hold out hope for now.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Looks like he will be out for year...such a huge loss...

 

[Joey007]

We'll just have to see. Looks bad though. If anything though our D held up alright after losing him even though Chandler had a great day.

Very very good point, BTW.

You typically don't bring the cart out if it's just a sprain.

Unfortunately.

I think we better get used to Skinner.

Whether this injury is of the season-ending variety or not, one has to wonder what NE does with Mayo at this point? He's got the big contract, but he sadly has been limited due to injury. There are other guys to lock up, including the man who has just put two very good to elite WR's in witness protection in consecutive weeks. Do they ask him to restructure?

Hope springs eternal.. hope he dodged a bullet and can be back after the BYE..

without we are desperately thin at LB.. will be tough season

Is it confirmed it's torn up yet?

I'm hoping:

1) It's not season ending and he can come back at some point this season.
2) Hightower is back real soon

Going to be tough. Even if there is a miracle i dont see him returning before late in the season or playoffs.

Ugh, this really sucks. Feel bad for Jerod.

Pats are really, really thin at LB right now. Yikes.

I feel awful to see Mayo go down again and I'm wondering what Ridley's status is. Perhaps we could poach a linebacker off the 49ers practice squad or hope that Darius Fleming is ready to go.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

I hate to say it but I think his season is over. Which sucks, because he has only been able to play 10 complete games in 2 seasons

James White, Gray will be the first candidates for ridley's replacement.
