Patriots Veteran LB Designated to Return Soon

The New England Patriots look really good right now and their current record says it all. New England has an 8-4 record and they are ready to beat the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Bill Belichick is satisfied with his current team. Well, fans will definitely love the good news. The Patriots are looking forward to getting a veteran LB back and experts have predicted the timetable from his return.

Harvey Langi may soon return from injured reserve. He saw action in 7 games with 1 start and Belichick uses his skills on special teams. The 29-year-old has seen 114 snaps and 98 of these happened on special teams. When used as a special teamer, Langi’s performance is of key importance.

Langi’s return will be of great help for the Patriots. This game is really important for Belichick’s players. They will meet their division rivals right after taking the throne in the AFC East. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones and his teammates have a six-game winning streak. Will the Bills break this winning streak?

Patriots need the veteran LB to return for the game vs. Bills

The Patriots may be without some of their key contributors. Dont’a Hightower, Kyle Dugger, and Ronnie Perkins didn’t join their teammates for practice. Of course, it’s too soon to make any prediction. Dugger will probably miss the game as he has yet to clear health and safety protocols.

New England had a long injury report, but fans don’t have a reason to be concerned. Langi may see more snaps now.

Belichick trusted his rookie for a reason. Jones was the best option at quarterback over the summer. He got the starting job after beating Cam Newton in the quarterback competition. The game against the Bills is as challenging as the game against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Belichick will have to prepare his team for Josh Allen and his improved game. Well, they may get to force him to make more mistakes in the upcoming game. He has already made too many.
