Dealing with calf injury
Tavai suffered a calf injury during Monday's OTAs practice and is expected to be sidelined until training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Tavai had to be helped off the field Monday, so this actually sounds like promising news for the Patriots' leading tackler from last season. New England signed three-down linebacker Robert Spillane to a three-year, $33 million deal during free agency and matched an offer sign on Christian Elliss, so Tavai's snap count could be reduced even if he's healthy for Week 1.

2020
Tavai recorded a career-high 110 tackles to go along with two interceptions and a sack in 17 games with the Patriots during the 2023 regular season. In the process, the 27-year-old - who joined the league as a second-round pick of the Lions in 2019 - took a step forward as a hybrid ILB/OLB for the team. He's slated to reprise that role in a defense that now will be led by new coordinator DeMarcus Covington.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nabs extension from Pats
Tavai, who recorded a career-high 110 tackles in 2023, agreed to a three-year extension with the Patriots on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tavai tied for the second-most tackles on the Patriots in 2023, helping him earn a deal that could be worth up to $21 million. The emerging linebacker began his career ascent when he joined New England in 2021 after two years with the Lions, and he's proven highly durable by appearing in all 17 regular-season games in both of the last two campaigns.
