Marcus Bryant suffers ankle injury during Patriots preseason game

New England Patriots offensive tackle Marcus Bryant exited a preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a left ankle injury. The injury occurred early in the first drive, prompting head coach Mike Vrabel to check on the player as he was assisted to the sideline by medical staff.

Bryant, a 2025 seventh-round pick, was replaced by rookie Dametrious Crownover. The injury adds to existing depth concerns for the Patriots' offensive line, which has already been impacted by the absence of Ben Brown and Andrew Rupcich. While the team confirmed Bryant would not return to the game, the specific severity of the ankle injury has not yet been publicly disclosed.
