- Patriots injury update: 10 players hurt in Ravens win, 3 in concussion protocol
FOXBOROUGH – The Patriots left Baltimore winners but also hurting.
At this time of year, every NFL team is dealing with injuries. What Mike Vrabel's team went through on Sunday night, however, was different. The Patriots saw nine players suffer injuries in their win over the Ravens. On Tuesday, Vrabel revealed the team actually had 10 injuries after the victory.

The Patriots coach said starting left guard Jared Wilson suffered a concussion in Baltimore. That injury wasn't known until Tuesday. He joins running back TreVeyon Henderson and receiver Kayshon Boutte in the NFL's concussion protocol.
"I would say that those are the guys you are most conscious of, just from a mental well-being and not getting frustrated about how they feel," Vrabel said. "I tell everybody the same thing: just be honest about how you're feeling, talk to the doctors, talk to the trainer. We do an evaluation every day. We do a symptom score. Those are the ones you want to focus on. The guys that have an ankle or whatever it might be, they're going to be OK. It's sometimes any of these things with concussions react differently, and there's no pre-described amount of time they're going to be out."
The Patriots also saw defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga (foot), defensive tackle Joshua Farmer (hamstring), right tackle Morgan Moses (knee), backup tackle Thayer Munford (knee), cornerback Carlton Davis (undisclosed), cornerback Charles Woods (ankle), and receiver DeMario Douglas (hamstring) suffer injuries.
"We'll figure out where things are later in the week and get everybody treatment," Vrabel said. "We got back late, so today will be a good opportunity just to see a little bit of activity, a walkthrough to get guys up moving around."

Wide receiver
Injuries: Kayshon Boutte (concussion), DeMario Douglas (hamstring)
The Patriots have Stefon Diggs , Mack Hollins , Kyle Williams , and Efton Chism III on their active roster. Chism could be in line for the most playing time he's seen this season. The team also has receivers John Jiles and Jeremiah Webb on the practice squad.
