Linebacker Adalius Thomas, who has started all nine games for the Patriots and is tied for the team lead with five sacks, suffered a broken left forearm in the first half of the Patriots 20-10 win, according to sources. The sources believe the injury is likely season ending. ESPN
This sucks for the Patriots because their defense is their rock. Yesterday they absolutely demolished the Bills and the main reason was from their defense. To lose a player like Thomas weakens every aspect of the defense from the pass rush to the secondary. Thomas had 34 tackles this year and was tied for a team high 5 sacks before the injury. Personally, I think that Thomas hasn't been the player I thought he would be when the Pats signed him, but this still hurts. The Patriots have had a lot of injuries this year including Tom Brady, Rodney Harrison, Laurence Maroney and now Thomas is icing on the cake.
