Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet): #Patriots OT Will Campbell, whose day was cut short today with injury, is believed to have suffered a knee sprain, sources say, and he'll have an MRI tomorrow to confirm. This will likely cause him to miss some time.
Campbell went down on a toss play and was seen holding his right knee before being ruled out for the remainder of the game, per Patriots beat writers. He was later spotted back on the sideline riding a stationary bike while the defense was on the field — a positive sign he was able to put weight on the joint.
The MRI will be key in determining whether Campbell faces a short-term absence or a more extended recovery. The Patriots' offensive line has been in flux this season, and losing the rookie left tackle — who has started all five games — would be a significant blow to a unit that has already dealt with injuries this season.
Fellow Patriot TreVeyon Henderson also exited Sunday's game with an ankle injury, adding to an already crowded Patriots injury report.
