Patriots RB Fred Taylor to Underdog Ankle Surgery? The (3-1) New England Patriots are trying to end a perfect team’s season for the third consecutive week, as they’ll visit the undefeated (4-0) Denver Broncos on Sunday at Invesco Field in the Mile High City. However, the Pats will be without the services of their leading rusher this season, Fred Taylor and according to sources he might need surgery on his injured right ankle.
According to NFL Week 5 Sports Betting Oddsmakers at SBGglobal.com, the New England Patriots [-3] will enter 
this Sunday’s game as the sports betting odds favorites to hand the Denver Broncos [+3] their first loss of the season by at least a field goal.
But how much will Taylor’s absence be felt in Week 5 against a pretty good Broncos run defense? The OVER/UNDER for that Patriots-Broncos game is set at a combined total of 40 points scored.
The 12-year Florida product currently leads the team with 201 yards and 2 touchdowns on 45 rushes for an average of 4.5 yards-per-carry. Taylor missed his second straight practice on Thursday after limping off the field in the 4th quarter of last week’s 27-21 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
"I really never worried about the naysayers," he said. "I used it as motivation. When I would go behind closed doors, I'd work a little harder, thinking that they called me Fragile Fred. I knew I was never fragile. I had a little bit of misfortune, that's about it."
