rest, plus video - http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...s-torn-tricepsThe Patriots' pass-rushing depth was dealt a blow on Tuesday.
Defensive end Rob Ninkovich tore his triceps in Tuesday's scrimmage versus the Saints, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the injury.
Although the muscle is torn, the tendon is not. That means Ninkovich will rehab the injury rather than undergo surgery, per Rapoport. The hope is that the 11th-year veteran can return at some point in October.
