The injuries keep coming for the Patriots.
Special teams captain Matthew Slater, who was reported to have a broken wrist Monday, will be out four to six weeks with the injury, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.
Slater is also on the roster as a wide receiver, but he’s played almost exclusively on special teams with New England.
The Patriots are already without offensive weapons Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola and Shane Vereen, among others.
