The New England Patriots will be without linebacker Jahlani Tavai for several weeks due to a calf injury sustained during OTAs, but he is expected to avoid a serious long-term issue. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Tavai, who led the team in tackles last season, could miss time until training camp, prompting concern among teammates during the incident. With the addition of linebackers Robert Spillane and Jack Gibbens, Tavai’s absence will be closely monitored as the team prepares for mandatory minicamp from June 9 to June 11 and training camp in late July.
