The Patriots continue to await more clarity on the injury to starting left tackle Will Campbell during Sunday’s win over the Bengals, but a report on Monday morning indicated that the rookie’s season may not be over.

Rapoport added that Campbell could be headed for a stint on Injured Reserve (meaning he would miss at least four games), but that hope remains for a potential playoff return.
