Update Emerges On Patriots’ Mohamed Sanu’s Injury

Mohamed Sanu joined the New England Patriots through a trade. Bill Belichick and the organization traded for Sanu last season and it was a really bold move for the team. The veteran wideout had ankle surgery in March, and he is out of his cast now. The rehab process has begun, and Sanu feels great as confirmed by NFL Media’s Mike Giardi. Will fans ignore Sanu’s previous injury?

Sanu sustained his injury November 3, in the game against the Baltimore Ravens. This was his second game with the team, but that injury wasn’t a big obstacle. Sanu missed just one game, but the ailment kept bugging him. He had a hard time forming a consistent connection with former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

A lot of Patriots fans slammed Sanu, and some even wrote him off. His underwhelming performance was a reason for that. But the veteran has all the talent Belichick needs. This criticism was nothing but an attempt to vent frustration. Many fans were unhappy with the Patriots’ underperforming offense.

Let’s not forget the reasons Belichick had to get Sanu. He is a talented veteran, and the Patriots needed his experience. 2019 wasn’t their best season, and Sanu was a perfect addition.

Sanu’s injury is not an obstacle

New England gave up a second-round pick for Sanu. But, this wasn’t his fault. Maybe Belichick is the one to be blamed for this. Sanu has proven himself as a talented player. He is one of the best wide receivers in the league. The veteran can be a valuable player for the Patriots offense. New England needs him healthy.

2020 will be a challenging season for the Patriots, and they need Sanu on the field more than ever. Tom Brady is out. Kyle Van Noy is out. Several key players left the team in free agency. Belichick needs Sanu and his other veterans to lead the team.

Brady’s departure may change the team’s performance, but they have Jarrett Stidham as a leading quarterback. The second-year quarterback is set to replace Brady as a starter in September. Brian Hoyer is right behind him. This will be an interesting season for the team.
