Thread: Patriots RB Blount out for the year

Per Schefter. No link yet.

They signed Montee Ball.

EDIT: I guess it's just to their practice squad.

Maybe I'm alone but the idea of Montee on that team sorta makes me nervous. He's the kind of guy that the Pats routinely turn into solid contributors.

New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount will miss the remainder of the season because of a left hip injury, a source confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Blount suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, becoming New England's latest prominent player to go down with a season-ending injury.

Blount, 29, has rushed for a team-leading 703 yards and six touchdowns this season. He was a key contributor in New England's Super Bowl run last season, including his stellar performance in the AFC Championship Game, in which he ran for 148 yards and three touchdowns.

I actively hope they bring him up and play him. Ball is done. How many teams did he try out and get passed over for before landing?

I'd love to see him average 1YPC for them.

I feel bad for Blount personally, but anything that hurts the Patriots is good for the Broncos.
