Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley suffered a torn pec in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks and is out for the season, a source confirmed to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald.

The news was first reported by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

The defensive captain appeared to suffer the injury with 3:35 remaining in the first quarter of the 23-20 loss to the Seahawks. He stayed in for one more play before exiting the game.

Bentley, 28, finishes the season with 12 tackles, a half-sack and one tackle for loss. The four-time captain is in his seventh season with the Patriots and signed a two-year contract extension last offseason.

The Patriots are left with Jahlani Tavai, Raekwon McMillan, Christian Elliss and Curtis Jacobs at linebacker on their 53-man roster. They also have Joe Giles-Harris on the practice squad and Sione Takitaki, who’s eligible to return after Week 4, on the PUP list.
