New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo left the game before halftime with an apparent shoulder injury. Mass Live’s Kevin Duffy has the update:
Told that X-Rays came back negative for Jimmy Garoppolo. No broken bones.

Now we’re not out of the woods just yet, but the fact that Garoppolo isn’t dealing with a broken bone has to be good news. Let’s hope that it’s a minor injury and he’ll be available to face the Houston Texans on Thursday.
We’ll keep you updated with more information as it comes out.
Update:
#Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo is at the hospital undergoing further tests on his right shoulder. There are no conclusive results yet.

Update:
While Jimmy Garoppolo is undergoing tests, the Patriots know he won't play Thursday night against the Texans, per source.

The early indication on Garoppolo's injury is it will take 6 weeks to heal, per source. But still undergoing full battery of tests.
