Jared Wilson was like every Patriot fan when asked about team’s string of injuries

New England Patriots offensive lineman Jared Wilson voiced his disbelief regarding the team's ongoing rash of injuries, stating he has never seen anything like it at any level of football. Head coach Mike Vrabel's squad recently suffered multiple offensive line setbacks during their win against the New York Jets, leaving the roster severely depleted ahead of a short-week road game against the Chicago Bears.

The Patriots lost starting guard Alijah Vera-Tucker to a hamstring injury, backup interior lineman Ben Brown to a knee injury, and starting right tackle Morgan Moses to an ankle injury. Writer Ernesto Cova notes that while quarterback Drake Maye continues to find his rhythm, New England faces a grueling schedule with an overseas game and no bye week until Week 11.
