New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel has the left the team to be with his family due to the death of his father, Greg.
His father passed away two days ago and with the team in San Jose, Cassel made the short trip home to his hometown of Northridge.
It’s not known whether or not Cassel will be back in time for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. If he isn’t, rookie Kevin O’Connell will be counted on to lead the Pats to a victory.
Our condolences go out to Matt, his brothers Jack, Justin and his sister Amanda and the whole Cassel family.
