Gibson's Injury Throws a Wrench in Patriots' London Plans
It's tough to say how bad it is, but it sure looked bad. That's the takeaway after Patriots running back Damien Harris limped off the field during their London matchup.
Harris, who's been a key part of New England's offense this season, went down with a lower body injury. The team has been tight-lipped about the severity of the injury, but it's safe to say it's something the Patriots are taking seriously.
This injury comes at a tough time for New England. They're already facing a tough schedule, and losing their star running back, especially overseas, is a massive blow. Gibson's a workhorse, you know?
What Happens Now for the Patriots?
The Patriots are in a tough spot. Let's face it, the running game is their bread and butter and they're going to need someone to step up in a big way if Harris is going to miss time.
With Harris out, it's likely the Patriots will lean even more heavily on Rhamondre Stevenson, their other primary running back. Stevenson's shown flashes of brilliance, but he's not quite ready to take the reins, at least not yet.
It's too early to tell how long Harris will be out, but it's something to watch closely. The Patriots' offense is built around a strong running game, and losing Gibson could be a huge setback.
The Next Man Up Mentality
You know what they say, next man up, right? The Patriots have been through a lot this season, and they've shown an ability to overcome adversity. They'll need that same resilience if they want to overcome this latest hurdle.
Let's see what they can do. This is going to be a big test for the Patriots, and it's a good story for the NFL fans. It's a reminder that injuries can happen at any time, and it's important for teams to be prepared.
