New England Patriots left tackle Will Campbell sustained a knee injury in the team's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Foxboro loooooves Tom Brady!” It’s been nearly a quarter century since legendary New England Patriots broadcaster Gil Santos uttered those words to describe the club’s young upstart quarterback as he thrived on a huge (and snow-filled) stage in knocking off the then-Oakland Raiders in the 2002 AFC Divisional Round.

But even though Will Campbell is currently off the 53-man roster, he still is heavily involved in the proceedings. His replacement, fellow offensive tackle Vederian Lowe, said as much on Wednesday when asked about the rookie remaining an active part of the team despite his current injury absence.

Will Campbell’s strong rookie year hasn’t stopped insiders from pushing a future move to guard for the young lineman at Patriots.

NBC Sports Boston's Albert Breer shared an updated report on Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell's MCL sprain.

The Pats received good news that Campbell should be back protecting Drake Maye before season's end. It didn’t look like that way Sunday.
