Eli Raridon Forced Out With Thigh Injury Against Steelers

New England Patriots rookie tight end Eli Raridon exited Sunday's Week 2 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a thigh injury and was unable to return. Before departing, the third-round draft pick out of Notre Dame caught his lone target for a 30-yard gain. Raridon, who recorded a two-yard touchdown catch in Week 1 against Seattle, continues to carve out a key reserve role behind starter Hunter Henry.
