Prior to the injury, Gesicki was really coming into his own in practice, displaying incredible catching abilities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gesicki was signed by the New England Patriots this offseason on a one-year deal. He spent the first five years of his career with the Miami Dolphins, where he was drafted 42nd overall in the 2018 NFL draft. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is hope that Gesicki\u2019s injury is not as bad as it appeared when he left practice on Monday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cTE Mike Gesicki, who has been impressive early on in camp, suffered a mild dislocated shoulder during yesterday\u2019s practice, source said. While nothing is given, the hope is he\u2019s back for Week 1 despite the AC joint injury,\u201d said NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dr. Jessica Flynn, a sports medicine doctor and injury analyst took to Twitter to provide a different perspective on what this type of injury could mean for Gesicki and the Patriots: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cA mild AC separation carries a rather quick recovery for a TE. A \u201cmild dislocation\u201d of the shoulder is another story (he may have had a similar injury with Miami). Hoping it\u2019s not a major setback for Gesicki, but frustrating nonetheless. Will have to wait for clarification,\u201d according to Dr. Flynn. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gesicki was on track to be a dominant TE counterpart to teammate Hunter Henry. The combination of size and good hands for Gesicki makes him a dynamic TE specifically in the Patriot\u2019s passing game in the red zone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He returns to a pass-catching role this season with the Patriots, where he thrived earlier in his career. Gesicki had a career high 780 receiving yards during the 2021 season. The 2022 season saw Gesicki have a dip in production, with just 362 receiving yards after being misused in the Dolphins lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The New England Patriots needed Gesicki to gain some depth at the TE position. He\u2019s had a solid and durable career thus far, only missing 1 game in his 5 years in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If prolonged, Gesicki\u2019s injury could be troublesome for the Patriots with a thin TE lineup and a newly put together offensive unit. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as Patriots Tight End Mike Gesicki began to build on his momentum in Patriots training camp, an injury in practice throws off his plans.
