Bodden out for season

The New England Patriots have placed cornerback Leigh Bodden on injured reserve, knocking him out for the season.

It’s a pretty devastating blow to the the Patriots, who don’t exactly have a lot of depth in the secondary. They will now have to rely on a second-year player and a rookie to be their starters in the defensive backfield.

For a New England team that struggled on defense last season, this is certainly anything but welcome news. Bodden started 14 games last year, tying for the team lead with 5 interceptions and had 17 pass deflections.
