The New England Patriots have been a banged-up football team since the start of the season, and that obviously hasn’t changed ahead of a crucial Sunday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4.
Last week, the team officially put cornerback Marcus Jones on injured reserve. This week, it was veteran defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale going on IR.
Losing Ekuale could create problems up front, especially if Davon Godchaux (ankle) isn’t able to go on Sunday. The Patriots still have several days to get as healthy as possible.
Whether that will be enough time for some of the limited participants at practice to move into the full participants column or not remains to be seen.
Going on the road and knocking off a potential Super Bowl contender will be a massive undertaking for a Patriots team that’ll need all hands on deck for this one.
Let’s take a look at the players that appeared on the Week 4 injury report.
