Wilfork is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
“Vince is just a phenomenal player both on and off the field for us,” Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said Tuesday. “Defensively from his leadership to his ability to – his work ethic, which is such an incredible example, all of which all of our guys look at and try to model themselves after.
