Will Campbell, one of the most important assets in the Drake Maye-led New England Patriots’ offense, is set to miss Monday Night Football. The rookie left tackle picked up a knee injury during the Patriots’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday.

Losing Campbell will be a huge blow for a Patriots side that are battling multiple injuries. According to revelations by head coach Mike Vrabel on Tuesday, the 21-year-old will be out for longer than just the next game.

Vrabel first ruled out Campbell for the Patriots’ next game during his Tuesday appearance on WEEI, where he said:

“I wouldn’t imagine that Will [Campbell] is going to play in the game. I don’t think that will be something that will happen. That injury is going to probably be more than a week or two.”

He confirmed the update later while addressing the media, saying:

“He won’t be out there this week, and it’s gonna be a couple weeks. We’ll have to make a decision here on the roster to see how long that’ll be… But it’s nothing that’s gonna hopefully put him out for the entire season.”

The Patriots will be hoping Campbell’s absence doesn’t affect their form as they look to extend their streak and secure the No. 1 overall seed in the playoffs. Vrabel and his men will be looking to take advantage of the Patriots’ bye week in Week 14 to have Campbell rested enough before playoff action kicks off.

Exploring the Patriots’ run and Drake Maye’s role in it

The Patriots are perhaps the most in-form team in the NFL this season, reaching double-digit wins before any other team in the league. The team has been on a winning streak since September, winning their ninth straight game against the Bengals last Sunday.

Quarterback Drake Maye has been at the heart of this run, dictating the offensive tempo for the Patriots. The North Carolina alum leads the league in passing with 3,130 yards, 21 touchdowns, and six interceptions. With Patriots fans already chanting it, there’s a strong argument emerging for Drake Maye's MVP prospect.

The Patriots’ next game is against the New York Giants. The two teams have been on different trajectories this season, with the Giants dropping out of the playoffs last week. Meanwhile, the Patriots are on course to enter the playoffs as the No. 1 overall seed.
