The New England Patriots picked up an impressive 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 5 matchup.
With this win, the Patriots now have a 3-2 record and are certainly bouncing back from their slow start to the campaign. Although this is the case, their victory unfortunately came at a cost.
Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell exited the game during the first half after suffering a knee injury. Now, an update has been provided on Campbell, and it is certainly a concerning one.

...
According to ESPN's Ian Rapoport, Campbell is believed to have suffered a knee sprain. In addition, Rapoport reported that Campbell will be having an MRI on Monday and is likely to miss "some time" due to his injury.
The injury bug has been biting the Patriots often as of late, so it is undoubtedly bad news that Campbell is expected to be sidelined. This is especially so when noting that the 2025 fourth-overall pick is a key part of the Patriots' roster.
If Campbell ends up officially needing to miss time, the Patriots are going to need to find a way to adjust. He has been an effective player for the Patriots since his arrival last season. New England will be hoping that this is not a long-term injury.
