Brian Fluharty-Imagn ImagesAs the New England Patriots get ready to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, they're dealing with new injuries in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The Patriots added multiple linemen to their injury report on Wednesday - the first of Week 5.
We'll start on defense. The Patriots were without pass rusher K'Lavon Chaisson (knee), who was one of two non-participants along with safety Jaylinn Hawkins (hamstring). In addition, defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) is on the injury report for the first time this year - he was limited. Fellow defensive tackle Christian Barmore (non-injury related/other) was also limited.
On offense, left tackle Will Campbell (shoulder) is now on the report, as is guard Mike Onwenu (shoulder). Both may be dealing with more minor injuries though, as both were full participants. Guard Jared Wilson (ankle/knee) was limited, after missing last weeks game.
Also appearing on the Patriots' injury report for the first time this year is Jahlani Tavai (calf). Tavai returned to practice on Wednesday after starting the season on IR.
Meanwhile, the Bills are getting healthier on defense. Defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle) and linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) returned to practice in a limited capacity after missing the last two games.
