Per the tweet below, the Patriots just announced that Spikes is done for the year with a knee injury. Somewhere someone can tally up all the injuries, I’m done with doing that for this year at least.
Looks like our boy Dane Fletcher suddenly becomes a key figure to any Super Bowl run. I guess against the Colts and Broncos (more passing teams than running) it works out a bit in the Pats favor. But Spikes gutted it out as long as he could I guess. Another tough break in a year full of them. His presence will be missed, and the excuse machine is primed and ready to start spitting them out if/when the Pats bow out.
We’ve placed LB Brandon Spikes on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury: http://t.co/iNBbXm2GN8
