Report: Patriots RB Sony Michel placed on IR

Former Georgia Bulldogs running back and current New England Patriots RB Sony Michel may be placed on Injured Reserve with a quad injury.

Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Sony Michel has been placed on Injured Reserve with a quad injury. Michel is a key player for the New England Patriots. In fact, he had his first 100 yard game of the season last week against the Oakland Raiders.

The IR this season is only three weeks long, so teams have more flexibility than in previous seasons. Fortunately for Michel, the injury is not expected to be season-ending.

Michel was already expected to miss tonight’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Damien Harris is expected to play tonight after missing several games to start the NFL season. Harris should assume some of Michel’s carries.

Rex Burkhead, J.J. Taylor, and James White will takeover some of Michel’s additional carries in his absence. The Patriots will be without Cam Newton when they face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the news of Michel’s quad injury:

Patrick Mahomes, Mecole Hardman joke following record contract

Mecole Hardman and Patrick Mahomes were joking on Twitter after the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback signed a record breaking deal

Mecole Hardman and Patrick Mahomes were joking on Twitter after the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback signed a record breaking deal. Mahomes can earn up to $503 Million over his ten year contract according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He and former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Mecole Hardman should be playing together for years to come.

Hardman averaged over twenty yards per catch en route to a solid rookie season last year, where he established himself as on of the NFL’s top deep threats. The speedy wide receiver complimented Tyreek Hill well. Hardman finished with 26 catches for 583 yards and six touchdowns.

Last season Hardman and Mahomes helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. The Chiefs had three consecutive comeback victories in a historic postseason run.

Here’s what Mahomes and Hardman had to say on Twitter following the record contract signing:

Tyreek Hill shared what he’s been doing when Mahomes starts buying time during his career:

Mahomes, Hardman, and Hill will be fun to watch for years to come. The Chiefs have one of the NFL’s best deep passing attacks ever. Look for Hardman to have an even bigger season during his second year in the NFL.
