Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell was carted off the field in the second half of the team’s matchup vs. the Bengals on Sunday with an apparent leg injury.

The fourth overall pick from last April's draft had to be helped off the field, and then was taken to the locker room by the medical cart. He put a towel over his head as he was crying while being carted off, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer shared.

With about five minutes of the game remaining, New England officially ruled Campbell out of the contest with a knee injury.

Mike Vrabel addresses Campbell’s injury after the game

The coach visited Campbell in the locker room after the Patriots’ 26–20 win over the Bengals. Fans were hoping Vrabel would be able to provide an update on Campbell’s status after meeting with him, but it sounds like the team still doesn’t have any information regarding the severity of the injury, or on any of the other injuries Patriots players endured on Sunday.

“I don’t have an update on anybody right now, unfortunately,” Vrabel said.

The Patriots play next Monday night vs. the Giants.
