The latest on Ted Karras: According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Patriots offensive lineman Ted Karras reportedly sprained his left MCL in the loss to the Texans on Sunday. Karras is said to be undergoing an MRI on Monday.
#Patriots C Ted Karras is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain last night, source said, based on the initial tests. He’ll have an MRI today, but at first glance, the hope is that it’s something he can return from. The way he’s played, that would be big.

Per Rapoport, the hope from the Patriots is that the 26-year-old can return from the injury. This could be crucial for the Patriots, who are already struggling on the offensive line. Karras has been filling in at center for regular starter David Andrews, out for the season with blood clots in his lungs.
Karras, 26, had previously been on the field for all of the Patriots’ offensive snaps in the 2019 season.
Trivia: The only other time the Patriots lost to the Texans was in January, 2010. The 34-27 loss occurred despite two touchdowns from this 33-year-old New England running back. Name that running back.
(Answer at the bottom).
Hint: He was drafted by Tom Coughlin.
