The hits keep coming for the New England Patriots as wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, running back Sony Michel, and special teams ace Brandon King were place on the PUP list Sunday.
Sanu recorded 26 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown with the Patriots in 2019 after being acquired at the trade deadline.
New England has some depth at the wide receiver position. In addition to N’Keal Harry, Julian Edelman and Jakobi Meyers also figure to strengthen the position. Now, the spotlight is on them during camp as Sanu recovers.
Michel was able to pace the running game for New England in 2019. The Georgia product ran the ball 247 times for 912 yards and seven touchdowns. Heading into camp, James White, Rex Burkhead, and Damien Harris should help to carry the load offensively as Michel recovers.
In what has been a difficult couple of days for the organization with opt-outs and injuries, New England will now have to see what players can take over as absences are beginning to stack up. In a year unlike any other, this adds to the uphill climb for the Patriots.
