Patriots receive good news on injured veteran starter
All things considered, the Patriots received good news about an injured veteran starter on Tuesday.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Jahlani Tavai suffered a calf injury in Monday's OTA practice and the injury is expected to sideline him until training camp.

The veteran linebacker went down during a non-contact team drill. At the time, it seemed as though Tavai, 28, suffered a serious injury. The Patriots turned off the music and players circled around him, kneeling on the ground.
By the time he got up, Tavai couldn't put any pressure on his left leg and needed help from teammates Jabrill Peppers and Michael Onwenu to get off the field. He was later taken off-site for further medical evaluation.
Last year, the veteran led the Patriots in total tackles with 115. Tavai started 16-of-17 games played and also had five passes defended, two quarterback hits, a sack, and an interception.
The Patriots have changed over their linebacker room under new coach Mike Vrabel. This offseason the team signed veteran free agents, Robert Spillane, and Jack Gibbons. The Patriots also gave linebacker Christian Elliss a new contract. The roster also includes Monty Rice and undrafted free agents Elijah Ponder and Cam Riley.

Commanders Trade For Trey Hendrickson Pitched By ESPN
Commanders Trade For Trey Hendrickson Pitched By ESPN originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has been an expensive offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals, with much to celebrate there. And it's been an expensive one for the Washington Commanders, too. Advertisement Who wants to spend next? In Cincy, the team broke the piggy back to keep happy their star wide receiver tandem of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, resulting in a cost of over $275 million between the two contract extensions. But left in the dust - so far, anyway - is one more star And if the Bengals can't figure out how to also keep happy their biggest defensive star, defensive end Trey Hendrickson? Maybe that's that's where the Commanders can swoop in. Hendrickson has asked for a contract extension since the start of the offseason. He is currently slated for an over $18 million cap hit in the final year of his deal. ... and there is market-based logic now that makes it clear he can ask for $30 mil per year or maybe even more. Advertisement He was initially encouraged to seek out a trade. That didn't work. He's been involved in extension talks. That hasn't worked, either. So now comes a major turn: Teams have called; we bet that group includes Washington and GM Adam Peters. The Bengals have been steadfast in stating that they want first-round value for the veteran if they do deal him. As Hendrickson grows more angry and claims the Bengals have lied to him? That's not happening. And another twist: ESPN is suggesting a trade that would cost Washington nothing more than two Day 3 picks and young D-lineman Jer'Zhan Newton. Really? That's it? Advertisement Maybe Cincy management folds and pays the guy who gets a rather amazing 17.5 sacks per year. Or maybe it means management demonstrates a willingness to accept less than a premium pick package. Washington is shy on picks; it can only offer so much as a result of the Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel trades. But Washington isn't shy about being aggressive in talent grabs. And to ESPN? Hendrickson is "grabbable.''
