Early Season Recap

Jrk1d

Starter
Going into Week 6 with a 5-1 record. The Patriots look to continue where they left off last season. But all things is not well as it seems in New England. This team is riddled with injuries and could play a big part the rest of the season.

Brandon Cooks is out for 6 weeks
Donta Hightower is out for 4 weeks
Julian Edleman is out for the year
Nate Soldier is out for 4 weeks
Alan Branch is out for 6 weeks.

Putting a big load of work on backups. Likes of Phillip Dorsett and Malcolm Mitchell to assume positions at the number 2 and 3 WRs.
Rookie Tony Garcia has been put into a starting role at LT. Time for him to show if he can be the LT of the future for years to come.
Rookie Najee Harris gets his chance at MLB to show he belongs in the NFL.
Bruce Gaston as well gets a chance to show his worth at DT.

With these next stretch of games that can make or break the season. These young guys have big shoes to fill if the Patriots want get back in the post season.
