Jahlani Tavai suffered the injury during the team's 11-on-11 segment of practice and was down "for a few minutes" before being helped off the field. If Tavai is forced to miss an extended period of time, it will be a big loss for the Patriots as head coach Bill Belichick recently said that the fourth year LB would be used in a "four-down role" according to Doug Kyed. The team is yet to give a formal update on the situation.

Jahlani Tavai ended up with 11 tackles (five solo) during Sunday’s 20-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
