The Facts: New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez is out of the game with an ankle injury. Hernandez had his leg/ankle rolled up on by teammate Julian Edelman. He appeared to be in serious pain as he went down, then limped off the field and was helped into the locker room. X-rays are forthcoming. Patriots website lists Hernandez as questionable to return.
Diehards Line:The injury looked mighty ugly/painful, so don't count on seeing Hernandez back on the field today. The bigger concern for the Patriots and fantasy owners is the severity of Hernandez's injury. Losing him for a significant length of time would be a blow to New England's offense and a loss for his owners. Stay tuned for updates on his condition.
