LeGarrett Blount Out For Season

During the Patriots dominating 27-6 week 14 win over the Houston Texans the New England lost yet another starting player to injury. LeGearrett Blount was the starter for the injured Dion Lewis who tore his ACL earlier in the season. Blount had to leave the game after a running play with a hip injury. The Patriots placed him on Injured Reserve the next day. Blount is just the next player to go with the Patriots injury plagued season with former starting running back Dion Lewis who's season is over with a torn ACL and #1 wide reciever Julian Edelman who broke his foot and isn't expected to return until week 16 at the earliest. With Blount out the Patriots are down to 2 running backs left on their roster which is forcing them to bring in outside help. The Patriots brought in NFL veteran Steven Jackson to see if he might be a fit for the teams offence for the rest of the season but when head coach Bill Belichick was asked about Jackson visiting he simply walked away from the podium and said "let's just end on a high note". Hopefully the Patriots can adapt to yet another injury and continue their 11-2 season on top of the AFC.
