Will Campbell and Jared Wilson have been responsible for protecting Drake Maye’s blindside throughout the 2025 season, and despite only being rookies, they have stepped up and excelled.
However, the two suffered injuries in Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, with the New England Patriots forced to play without two out of five of their starting offensive linemen. Wilson was sidelined early in the game with an ankle injury, while Campbell was injured later in the game with a knee injury. They both had to be helped off the field and were eventually carted into the locker room.
After the game, quarterback Drake Maye couldn’t hide his emotion, showing love for his two teammates.
“Shoot, I love those guys,” Maye told reporters. “They’re going to be all right. That’s the big thing about those guys. They work hard, and they’re going to be back, and they’ve done such a good job for us this year, man. I love those guys. Will and Jared have meant a lot to me. We’ve got to know them in different ways. And yeah, it hurts. It’s disappointing, man. That’s this game. That’s life, and they’ll bounce back and help us down the road.”
There have been no updates regarding the two following the game, except for the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed reporting that he saw Wilson in a walking boot on his right foot, along with a crutch in the locker room after the game.
