Mike Vrabel rules out two Patriots starters for Giants game

The injuries have piled up for the New England Patriots late in the season. According to Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, the team will be without two starters, on top of starting left tackle Will Campbell going on injured reserve with a sprained MCL this week.

The Patriots will be without starting left guard Jared Wilson and special teams ace Brenden Schooler for their Monday Night Football game against the visiting New York Giants. Both Wilson and Schooler went down with ankle injuries in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Vrabel also revealed that defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga and edge rusher Harold Landry III are questionable to play in the game. So the Patriots could potentially be down several key contributors against a Giants team that's tougher than their 2-10 record indicates.

The good news is the Patriots are slated for their bye week after the game, which will give them a full week to lick their wounds and get as healthy as possible for the final stretch of the season.

They will have two incredibly tough games against the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens awaiting them when they return.
