Patriots’ Cloud has calf surgery

Foxboro, Mass. — New England running back Mike Cloud underwent calf surgery that could sideline him for an extended period.

His operation was Wednesday at Massachusetts General Hospital. Coach Bill Belichick said Cloud could miss “significant” time and did not say which leg was injured.

Last season, Cloud started the final two games for Kansas City as a replacement for injured Priest Holmes. The former Boston College standout had 121 carries for 381 yards in four seasons with the Chiefs.
