The New England Patriots may have lost one of their deep threats at wide receiver for the entire season.
According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, Brian Tyms sustained a foot injury during Wednesday's practice, which could cause him to miss this season.
#Patriots reserve WR Brian Tyms has sustained a foot injury that could threaten his season. Was vying for No. 4-5 spot on WR depth chart.

The exact diagnosis of the injury is unknown, but it appears to be serious enough to keep him sidelined for a lengthy period of time.
Last season, Tyms started two games for the Patriots, catching five passes for 82 yards and one touchdown. He wasn't expected to have a huge impact on offense this season, but he does play a role on special teams as a gunner.
In his place, guys like Josh Boyce and Aaron Dobson should see more reps as the Patriots search for a fourth and fifth receiver.
