FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

The Patriots have placed fullback James Develin on injured reserve with a neck injury, making him the third offensive player New England has placed on the list this season.

Develin played in the Patriots’ first two games, but sat out Sunday’s win over the Jets.

Develin was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 2017. Last season he appeared in all 16 regular-season games with eight starts and rushed for a career-high four touchdowns.
