BREAKING – Patriots TE Dalton Keene placed on IR, will miss 2021 season

It’s a bad day for injuries. Following the news earlier that Raekwon McMillan had torn his ACL, Dalton Keene has been placed on the injured reserve list following a procedure on his knee to repair an issue he dealt with previously in College.

With TE Dalton Keene being placed on injured reserve at this time on the NFL calendar, it means he is ineligible to play this season (unless he is released with an injury settlement, and later returns, which seems unlikely). https://t.co/aJqcmrN5Kn

It’s reported that Keene will have plenty of time to recover for the 2022 season, and really, the small silver lining here is that he will be protected for the season on the IR list as he wasn’t a sure-fire lock for the roster due to the arrivals in the TE group this year.

Mike Reiss notes that Keene joins McMillan in being placed on IR, effectively ending their season.

Some good news regarding tight ends did surface this evening also, Devin Asiasi was activated from the COVID list, we should see him back at practice tomorrow.

Here’s what the TE room looks like currently:

So after reading about Amendola’s injury situation and seeing how his recovery time puts him in a favorable position to play against Atlanta what do you think are the realistic chances BB puts him and Gronk out there on sunday night? And if he can’t go, how do you think the rookies will play on their first nationally televised game in the NFL against a good team on the road?

Can’t go too in-depth on this one yet as I think it will be for my Friday B/R column, but I think if both are ready to go they’ll play. I think they need Gronk back more than Danny for obvious reasons. Regardless, this is a great opportunity for the Patriots to get better. I […]
