Jakobi Meyers has been downgraded to out for #NEvsGB.
— New England Patriots (@Patriots) October 1, 2022
The New England Patriots will be missing another key offensive piece on Sunday with wideout Jakobi Meyers being ruled out for a second straight week.
It’s a tough blow for a Patriots team that’ll already be playing without starting quarterback Mac Jones. The blow will be even tougher for backup quarterback Brian Hoyer, who could have used a dependable target capable of consistently finding openings in the slot.
Meyers missed last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens with a knee injury, and he is still trying to work his way back out onto the field.
His absence could mean a higher snap count for Lil’Jordan Humphrey or maybe even Kendrick Bourne. Regardless, it’ll be a daunting task to topple a talented Packers defense at Lambeau Field, while also trying to match the offensive firepower of an opposing offense led by one of the all-time great quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers.
