Patriots rookie linebacker Harvey Langi was involved in a car accident in Foxborough on Friday night, the team announced.
Langi and his wife, who was also in the vehicle, suffered “serious” injuries, according to NESN.com’s Doug Kyed. While the Patriots confirmed Langi and his wife were hospitalized because of the injuries, they are not considered to be life-threatening, per Kyed and Mike Reiss of ESPN.com (Twitter link).
This occurred Friday night while the Langis’ vehicle was rear-ended while being stopped at a traffic light. The Foxborough Fire department reports it was a three-car collision.
The Patriots are set to make the trip to New York to face the Jets on Saturday afternoon. Langi’s designation on the Patriots’ injury report is a back injury, Reiss tweets. He is out for Sunday’s game.
An undrafted rookie out of BYU, Langi received a large signing bonus to join the Patriots. He’s on the active roster but has played in one of New England’s five games this season, Week 2 against the Saints.
