The Patriots' offensive line was pretty slim on depth to begin with. Things just got shallower for New England.
Offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer suffered a head injury and did not return in the Patriots' 27-10 win over the Washington Redskins. It left them with just five healthy offensive linemen for the second half. Tight end Michael Williams had to fill in at right tackle early in the second half.
The Patriots also saw running back Dion Lewis head to the locker room in the third quarter and he was ruled out with a knee injury.
Here is the rest of Sunday's injury news:
