The star running back missed the rest of the 2023 season in the Patriots’ Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Reports suggest Judon could return in December, but with New England out of contention, the 31-year-old has been ruled out.
Judon asked for an update on the injury during an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Felger & Mazz” on Thursday.”That’s great.” Judon said when asked how his forearm felt. “I feel fully functional, my energy and mobility are coming back.
I’m ready to play.The Patriots defense played well without Judon. Veterans like Anfernee Jennings and Mack Wilson filled in for Judon, while rookies like Keion White also contributed. But we’re talking about a player who had 32 sacks in New England’s first 38 games.
For the Patriots defense to reach its potential next season, they will need a healthy and committed Judon to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks.
