The Patriots saw two key players suffer injuries in the regular-season finale against Miami on Sunday.
Left tackle Isaiah Wynn left the game in the first half with an ankle injury and was later ruled out. Then, rookie defensive tackle Christian Barmore suffered a knee injury towards the end of the game, reportedly needing a cart to get to the locker room and wasn't able to put any weight on his leg.
Appearing on The Greg Hill Show Monday, Bill Belichick was asked for an update on those two players.
“No, not yet," he said. "We just got back late last night. So we’ll see how things look this morning. I’d say we’re hopeful.”
NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday night initial exams on Barmore's knee were promising. He's scheduled for a MRI Monday, which will determine the full extent of the injury.
Justin Herron filled in for Wynn at left tackle, while Barmore's injury happened on the last defensive possession. Both players play key roles, so if they are forced to miss Saturday's game against the Bills it would be a big loss that causes disruption to both units.
