Along with getting a second-round pick for defensive end Chandler Jones, the Patriots received failed former first-round offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper.
Cooper appeared to sustain the injury roughly halfway through Saturday’s practice, the first fully padded session of the summer for the Patriots.
After being looked at by trainers, Cooper was placed onto a cart and brought from the practice field back into Gillette Stadium.
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport said Cooper is dealing with a plantar fascia issue, which is a ligament that connects the heel bone to the toes.

Cooper hasn’t had the best luck with injuries. He is in the final year of his rookie contract after he was the seventh-overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
