Per Profootballtalk.com:
Patriots defensive end Jarvis Green, who inherited a starting job once Richard Seymour was exiled to Oakland, will be out for the immediate future.
According to Tom Curran, who started his new gig Monday with CSNNE.com, Green underwent knee surgery last week.
Curran says that Green will be out until early December. Our former Sporting News colleague Albert Breer, who's now covering the Patriots for the Boston Globe, writes that Green possibly could be back from the procedure to repair his meniscus in time for the November 15 game against the Colts.
The Patriots were idle during Week Eight. On Sunday, they host the Dolphins.
Pats have a tough stretch up games coming up. Not good to lose anyone on the defense right now.
