FOXBOROUGH -- Patriots running back Fred Taylor underwent surgery today to repair severe ligament damage in his right ankle and could miss the rest of the season, according to a league source.
The 33-year-old Taylor, who is the team's leading rusher this season through four games with 201 yards on 45 carries and two touchdowns, is facing the likelihood of being done for the year, according to the source. But there is a small chance that Taylor could return during the final month of the regular season depending on how his recovery progresses.

Sad
Taylor had done really well, but this is why the Patriots kept a deep and versatile group of backs. I don’t think the running game will suffer too much.
Which also means: Should he be shelved to open a roster spot?
They're talking like he could be back the last few weeks of the regular season
Which also means: Could he help us in the post season?
The more you know, the more you know that you don't know.
