Starting quarterback Mac Jones apparently suffered a back injury during the contest, undergoing X-rays afterwards. QB Mac Jones: The biggest injury coming out of the game was not announced during the contest. No injury was announced for the rest of the game - there were under six minutes left in the fourth quarter - and he did not participate in the team’s final three offensive snaps. TE Jonnu Smith: Following his third and final reception of the day, Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith showed a slight limp when jogging off the field. He returned later that same quarter and was not impacted by the collision down the line. His injury was less serious, even though there is no denying the impact: Dugger appeared to have been hit in his private area.
S Kyle Dugger: The Patriots’ safety group appeared to take another hit early in the third period, when Kyle Dugger was also unable to get up after making a tackle. Phillips eventually walked off the field under his own power, but he did not return to the contest: the 30-year-old departed for the locker room and was eventually ruled out with a rib injury. S Adrian Phillips: Late in the second quarter, starting safety Adrian Phillips remained on the ground after making a tackle on a short pass to wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. Apparently, however, there is not much to be concerned: both were part of a rotation at their respective spots in the lineup. Strange departed the contest late in the first quarter and was replaced by James Ferentz Wynn briefly left in the third with Yodny Cajuste taking over. G Cole Strange/OT Isaiah Wynn: The Patriots’ left guard and right tackle were suspiciously absent for several snaps on the day. While it remains to be seen just how serious those issues are, let’s take a look at the players who were either announced as injured or caught our eye after re-watching the game. Not much went right for the visiting Patriots on Sunday, and to make matters worse they suffered some high-profile injuries. The New England Patriots started their regular season off on the wrong foot, losing to the Miami Dolphins with a final score of 20-7.
