The Patriots made a mid-season move during the 2019 season and it didn’t really pay dividends.
According to Patriots Wire, there’s a reason perhaps why.
The Patriots sent a second-round pick to the Falcons for receiver Mohamed Sanu. Patriots Wire reports via ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the 30-year-old wideout will have surgery to repair the high-ankle sprain he suffered last season. Sometimes rest will do the job, but clearly the injury was much more serious than anticipated.
Sanu only missed one game with the Pats, but after the Week 11 injury, he only had 12 catches the rest of the season and only had one catch for 11 yards in the playoffs.
Of course, much of Sanu’s potential successes next season will have to do with his health, and the Patriots’ QB situation. There are many questions circulating around about Tom Brady currently.
