Speaking at an event to support his charitable foundation, defensive end Jarvis Green said he will not play next week against the Colts and he will miss “a few weeks’’ after undergoing knee surgery at the end of the Patriots’ bye week.
“The knee feels pretty good,’’ Green said. “Rehab is going good. We are taking it one day at a time. [The surgery] was something that had to be done. I have been playing with it for about four weeks, so it got worse and worse. We’ve got a lot of football left and it makes sense.’’
Last night in Providence, Green hosted a third annual wine tasting gala in conjunction with his Jarvis Green Foundation, the proceeds of which benefited disadvantaged single mothers affected by tragedies.
Several of his teammates, including Stephen Neal, Matt Light, and defensive line coach Pepper Johnson, attended.
“My mom and dad were together for 31 years,’’ Green said. “Single mothers need more help to recover. I wanted my foundation to help that cause.’’
