New England Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn pectoral muscle, multiple media outlets reported Monday night.
Bentley sustained what was originally called a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s 23-20 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Earlier Monday, ESPN initially reported that the ailment wasn’t believed to be serious.
The Patriots (1-1) are on a short week, and Bentley was reportedly expected to play Thursday vs. the New York Jets.
Now the 28-year-old will be an observer for the rest of the season. Bentley had 12 tackles and a half-sack through the first two games of the campaign.
In seven NFL seasons, all with New England, Bentley has racked up 509 tackles, 10.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in 83 career games (68 starts).
