The New England Patriots could be without linebacker Jerod Mayo, offensive lineman Dan Connolly and running back Stevan Ridley for their week seven clash against the New York Jets.

Mayo left his side's win against the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium in the second quarter after falling awkwardly while making a tackle, and was carted off the field.

Connolly started the game for Bill Belichick's side but was also forced off the field in the second quarter with a head injury, while Ridley sustained a knee injury in the third and was also ruled out.

The Patriots have just three days of recovery before they face the Jets in their matchup on Thursday at Gillette Stadium.
