As the New England Patriots were blowing out the Dallas Cowboys, their starting left tackle, Nate Solder, left the game with what the team said was an elbow injury.
Solder said that there wasn’t anything wrong with his elbow but now it appears it’s something way worse. He’s going to miss the of the season with a torn bicep.

The Patriots’ offense was dealt a serious blow Wednesday when it was revealed that starting left tackle Nate Solder will be lost for the rest of the 2015-16 campaign.
According to a team source, Solder will require season-ending surgery for a torn right biceps muscle suffered late in the first half in Sunday’s 30-6 victory over the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas.
Solder is expected to be replaced by Marcus Cannon in the starting lineup. Cannon has been the primary backup tackle, so his playing time is likely to increase in the coming weeks without Solder.
