Matthew Judon

The Patriots have officially placed LB Matthew Judon on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Judon underwent biceps surgery recently as pond is expected to miss at least two months. The Patriots will likely look to rookie Marte Mapu to fill Judon’s spot on defense.

Matthew Judon (arm) will undergo surgery on his torn bicep this Wednesday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Judon suffered the injury in Week 4 versus Dallas. He hopes to return later this season, but Schefter writes that "there are questions about whether he can or will." The 31-year-old had been a star on defense once again this year, logging 13 sacks and four tackles through less than four games.

Matthew Judon will be out indefinitely after suffering a lower-bicep tendon tear.

Fantasy Impact

Judon suffered a lower-bicep tear during the team's blowout loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. It's a pretty serious injury, and he will be out indefinitely as he seeks a second opinion on it. A possible trip to IR could be in the works and the Patriots will have to look for players like Josh Uche to step up in the star edge rusher's extended absence.

Matthew Judon has been diagnosed with a torn lower bicep tendon.

Fantasy Impact

Judon hurt his arm in the second half and couldn't finish the game, and he's not being diagnosed with a lower-bicep tendon tear. It's unclear exactly what that means for him right now, and the timeline for his recovery has yet to be determined. He will probably miss significant time, and this Patriots' defense will need to rely on someone like Josh Uche to get consistent pressure on the QB in his absence.

Matthew Judon is getting an MRI on his bicep and is expected to miss time.

Fantasy Impact

Judon injured his arm during the second-half of Sunday's game and is now being evaluated for an injury to his bicep. He's getting an MRI to determine the exact severity of the injury, but either way, he's expected to miss time. He was near the top of the league in sacks heading into Week 4, and his absence will be devastating for a New England defense that's losing a lot of key players to injury.
