Develin has a broken tibia and will be out for 6-8 weeks, per the Boston Herald. | ||||||
With Develin out so long, the Patriots are likely to look for free agent options to replace him for the first half half of the season. If they fail to find a serviceable alternative, the fantasy outlook for their committee of running backs will dim a little more. | ||||||

While the team has not specified the exact injury, it was a scene where teammates and coaches were coming up to Develin to wish him well as he was leaving the field, so it was likely pretty serious. His status should be updated in the coming days, and as the lone fullback on the roster, Develin's absence could prompt the Patriots to bring someone in from outside the organization. | ||||||

Patriots waived FB James Develin. | ||||||
The move is slightly surprising because Develin had a nice preseason and his release leaves New England without a fullback on the 53-man roster. Perhaps Develin will return after Week 1. Look for the Patriots to run out of one-back sets, spreading the field to create advantageous run-game matchups. | ||||||
