Chris Hogan suffered a shoulder injury in Patriots’ win over Chargers
The Patriots’ bye week may have arrived at a vital time for wide receiver Chris Hogan, who sustained an injury in the 21-13 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
With what the Patriots are calling a shoulder injury, Hogan left the field in the fourth quarter with his right arm hanging limp. The injury occurred with just under three and a half minutes remaining in the game, as Hogan ran a crossing route on 2nd and 8.
Catching Brady’s pass, Hogan was drilled by Chargers defenders, and was slow to get up:

He was treated on the sidelines before walking off the field. The Patriots listed him as questionable to return (which he did not):

Not a good sign for Chris Hogan’s shoulder. Just had to go into the training room to put on his shirt.
