NFL Insider Provides Worrisome Injury Update For Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham

One NFL insider has some rather troublesome injury update for New England Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham. There are a lot of eyes on the Patriots going into this season. With such a disappointing season last year, many fans were left wondering what is next for the boys in blue. This has led to quite a busy off season for those involved.

The quarterback race is officially heating up. Most people who pay close attention to the ins and out of the team agree that newly signed Cam Newton will be the one to take over the starting position. But that is far from set in stone.

Head coach Bill Belichick recently talked about the QB race and who might be in the lead. Heads up, he doesn’t say too much.

“We’ve done a lot of meetings, a lot of walkthroughs,” Belichick said. “A lot of information has been transferred to all the players. He’s worked very hard, I’d say, as all our players have. We have a hard-working group. Those guys are ready to go and we’ve put in some long days. They’ve been very attentive during the process.”

“I’d say all the quarterbacks, at that position, those guys have been locked in, been focused, worked extremely hard. All four of them,” Belichick said. “When they all get in the huddle, everybody has a lot of confidence in what they’re able to do, and the information they have to give the team. Play-calls, adjustments, audibles, protection adjustments, things like that.

“But again, we haven’t played anywhere near the speed we’re going to be playing at so we’ll see how it all comes together at that point. But Cam’s a hard-working kid. He really is.”

Now it looks like another starter hopeful has an injury update. Jarrett Stidham appears to have a leg injury.

This could be a big issue, especially for Stidham himself if he wants to make the starting position.

Hopefully it turns out to be nothing much and he can get back to work very soon. What do you think about this update?
