If Danny Amendola missing Thursday night’s game against the New York Jets was not bad enough, with the Patriot’s barely squeaking by with a 13-10 win over the New York Jets, Ian Rapoport has some bad news for you. He reported that the\u00a0New England Patriot’s \u00a0WR could miss 2-6 weeks with a groin injury.<\/p>\n

Lot of goodies from @RapSheet<\/a> just now. Pats hope Gronk back by Week 3. He will be back Week 4. Amendola out 2-6 weeks.<\/p>\n

With running back Shane Vereen\u00a0already out until Week 11, a long-term absence for Amendola is a severe blow to\u00a0Tom Brady’s aerial attack. The\u00a0Patriots’ nominal No. 1 receiver came up huge late in their win over the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0in\u00a0Week 1.
