Concerns were high on Sunday when Campbell was taken off the field on a stretcher.\n\nThe team prepares to receive the New York Giants on &#8220;Monday Night Football&#8221; on December 1st, before their bye week.\n\nThe Patriots have four key games ahead: against the Buffalo Bills (December 14), against the Baltimore Ravens (December 21), against the New York Jets (December 28), and against the Miami Dolphins (January 3-4).\n\nVrabel hinted in a radio interview that Campbell suffered a knee sprain.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Sprains have different degrees of severity. I&#8217;m not sure of the severity, but I don&#8217;t expect him to play on Monday against the Giants.<\/p><cite>Mike Vrabel<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nCampbell, the fourth overall draft pick, has started every game. The Patriots&#8217; starting offensive line remained unchanged in 10 of their first 11 games.\n\nStarting left guard Jared Wilson was also carted off after injuring his right ankle early in Sunday&#8217;s game. Vrabel indicated that it&#8217;s &#8220;too early to tell&#8221; about Wilson&#8217;s status.\n\nAll-Pro special teams player Brenden Schooler (ankle) and defensive tackle number 3 Khyiris Tonga (chest) also did not finish Sunday&#8217;s game.\n\nTonga replaced Milton Williams, who was placed on the reserve list due to injury on November 15 due to a high ankle sprain.\n\nVrabel said he will evaluate Tonga&#8217;s evolution during the week.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The starting left tackle for the New England Patriots, Will Campbell, could return this season despite the knee injury suffered during Sunday&#8217;s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
