The New England Patriots can’t keep their pass-catchers on the field.

Danny Amendola left the Patriots’ 20-13 win over the Bills in the third quarter with a knee injury. He will get an MRI on that knee, according to the NFL Network’s Albert Breer.

It’s unclear when the injury was sustained, but Amendola’s knee appeared to buckle while the receiver was calling a fair catch on a punt in the third quarter. After the play, he went to the sideline and was looked at by Patriots trainers.

The 30-year-old receiver became a bigger focal point in the Patriots’ offense after Julian Edelman and Dion Lewis went down with injuries. Before leaving the game, Amendola had 9 receptions for 117 yards. He has 49 receptions on the year for 520 yards and two touchdowns.
