FOXBORO, Mass. (WPRI) - It looks as though the leading rusher for the New England Patriots will be out for a while. According to ESPN Boston , running back Fred Taylor needs surgery on his right ankle.

Taylor injured his ankle during his final play in Sunday's game against the Ravens and has missed practice the last two days.
