Solder Leaves Game vs. Jets

Sunday, Dec. 28

New England Patriots left tackle Nate Solder exited Sunday's Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills with a knee injury.    

ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss reported the news:

The Patriots had already locked up the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed entering their regular-season finale. They have to hope Solder can recover with the benefit of a bye week.
