Jimmy Garoppolo landed hard on his right throwing shoulder in the second quarter of Week 2.

Garoppolo initially attempted to play through the injury before kneeling on one knee after absorbing the hit.

Garoppolo had been on fire, leading the Patriots to touchdowns on their first three possessions as they took a 21-0 lead. He was 18 of 27 for 234 yards and 3 touchdowns at the time of the injury.

Garoppolo will likely need six weeks for the injury to heal and has already been ruled out for Week 3.

Tom Brady will return from his suspension after Week 4.
