FOXBOROUGH Womens Cyrus Jones Jersey , Mass. (AP) — The Patriots have placed receiver Josh Gordon on injured reserve with knee and ankle injuries.The move was posted on the NFL’s transaction wire late Wednesday afternoon.Gordon suffered the injuries during New England’s win over the Giants in Week 6 and sat out Monday night’s win over the Jets. He did not participate when the Patriots returned to the practice field on Wednesday.Gordon’s absence will mean the Patriots will now be leaning even more on veteran Mohamed Sanu, acquired in a trade with Atlanta on Tuesday, to provide some stability to an offense that leads the league in scoring at nearly 32 points a game.The Patriots traded a second-round draft pick in 2020 to the Falcons. The 30-year-old Sanu has 33 receptions for 313 yards, but only one touchdown so far this season.Gordon was among New England’s leading receivers this season. In six games he has 20 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown.This marks the second abbreviated season for Gordon. Following a trade from Cleveland last season, he appeared in 11 games for the Patriots before being suspended indefinitely last December for violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.It is the latest hit to New England’s receiving group. N’Keal Harry http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authe … ady-jersey , a 2019 first-round draft pick, went on injured reserve after hurting an ankle during training camp. He is eligible to return to the roster in Week 9. It’s not often you see a defense dominate the way the New England Patriots’ did on Monday night against the New York Jets. Not only did the unit completely shut down the Jets’ offense, but it also had Sam Darnold seeing ghosts in the backfield. It ended up being one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen by a quarterback, and, while Darnold certainly deserves a lot of blame Brandon Bolden Jersey , the Patriots defense deserves a lot of credit. New England’s offense started the game with an almost nine-minute, 16-play touchdown drive, capped by the first of Sony Michel’s three touchdowns of the night. Certainly a solid start to the game, to which Darnold responded by throwing an interception on his first pass attempt. This trend would continue through the rest of the game.On their first eight possessions, the Jets had thrown four picks Womens Dont'a Hightower Jersey , lost a fumble, had a turnover on downs, and fumbled out of the back of the end zone for a safety. By then, it was 26-0 halfway through the third quarter, and the game was over. Darnold was more scared than a middle schooler in a haunted house. It was an a beatdown unlike one I’ve ever seen. Throw in the fact that Jakobi Meyers looked good last night and that the Patriots just traded for Mohamed Sanu http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authe … nes-jersey , and there is a lot to be happy about this Tuesday. It’s hard to imagine playing better defensively than the Patriots did last night, but it’ll be fun to watch them try.
