Follow Us
The 2022 season has been nothing short of a disappointment for the New England Patriots. And this season, it seems to be getting worse. Despite being 6x Super Bowl champs, the Patriots’ recent addition, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, has been surrounded by a whirlwind of rumors and speculations due to his injury. Adding to the upheaval, the team parted ways with Jakobi Meyers, a decision that only made things worse.
To make matters even more challenging, the Patriots had a rough preseason, and their season opener is against the formidable Philadelphia Eagles, last year’s runner-up champions who are hungry for redemption. Adding fuel to the fire, Sports Illustrated NFL insider Albert Breer recently appeared in an interview that has sent shockwaves through the football world, further complicating JuJu Smith-Schuster’s situation.

During an appearance on NBC Sports Boston, Albert Breer made alarming statements regarding JuJu Smith-Schuster’s knee, describing it as increasingly problematic in recent days. He raised the ominous possibility that the injury could potentially blow up at any moment, underscoring the urgent need for the team to secure an alternative receiver.
It’s worth noting that the Patriots had invested significantly in JuJu, signing him to a lucrative 3-year, $33 million deal. However, the decision to let go of in-house talent Jakobi Meyers, who has since joined the Raiders, drew sharp criticism from fans and experts alike.

JuJu Smith-Schuster’s injury originated during the AFC championship game while he was playing for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Bengals. The injury was severe enough to necessitate offseason surgery, and a delayed rehabilitation process has raised concerns, particularly in light of Breer’s recent comments.

Following the widespread circulation of Breer’s statement, Smith-Schuster took to the mic after last Wednesday’s practice to address the situation with unwavering confidence. He stated, “If anything, it’s something that’s getting stronger every day.” Nevertheless, concerns persist among both fans and experts, given JuJu’s ongoing battle with knee injuries dating back to 2019, coupled with a right shoulder injury in 2021 that sidelined him for a dozen games.
It’s worth highlighting JuJu’s exceptional performance last year, where he amassed an impressive 933 yards, securing the second spot in the league, just below Travis Kelce.
While JuJu asserts his increasing strength, his injury history continues to loom large, leaving fans and experts in suspense. The real test will be whether he can complete the full 17-game season, potentially paving the way for a record-breaking campaign.
