Patriots coach Jerod Mayo shares injury update on RB Antonio Gibson

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo had an injury update for running back Antonio Gibson as the team gets set to take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

“It’s always a concern when we put people on the injury report. We’ll see how it goes today,” Mayo told media members.

Gibson was a newer addition to the injury report on Thursday with a hip injury. He was once again on the report on Friday and listed as questionable to play in Week 1.

Mayo was also asked about offensive guard Sidy Sow, but he had no update on his status. The starting offensive lineman was listed as out on the injury report.

These injuries could be notable for depth purposes, as the Patriots are struggling with depth at both the running back and offensive line positions. Gibson recorded three carries for 17 yards, along with hauling in a catch for 13 receiving yards, in the preseason finale against the Washington Commanders.

Sow being out could be a major problem for the Patriots along the offensive front. The same could be said about Gibson and the running back unit.

It could put even more pressure on Rhamondre Stevenson, who has dealt with injuries in the past after an insanely high volume of carries.
