Injuries should force these Patriots players to step up Week 16 vs. Broncos

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:04 GMT

FOXBORO — If the Patriots’ offensive conservatism at the end of last week’s loss to the Chiefs left you feeling irritable, then it be best to skip this week’s game against the Broncos lest it ruin your holiday.Head coach Bill Belichick said Sunday that injuries were partially to blame for the Patriots’ lack of tempo late in the game when they trailed by 10 points with four minutes left in the game and backed up to their own 1-yard line.By that time, left guard Cole Strange and tight end Hunter Henry had left with injuries, and left tackle Conor McDermott – filling in for Trent Brown – was out with a concussion.Based on early returns in practice, it seems likely the Patriots will be going into Denver without those three players.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots running back Kevin Harris ready for bigger opportunity on 53-man roster New England Patriots | QB Nathan Rourke unsure of Patriots plan but excited f...

BYD will construct the plant near the southern Hungarian city of Szeged, and is expected to provide thousands of jobs to the region, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in a statement posted to his Facebook page.
