Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com reports Fred Taylor, the New England Patriots' leading rusher, will require surgery on his injured right ankle, according to a source close to the situation.
The surgery is not expected to sideline Taylor for the season, assuming there are no complications.
Taylor injured the ankle on his final carry of Sunday's 27-21 win over the Ravens, a 3-yard rush in which he came up hobbling after charging hard into the middle of the Baltimore defense. He has been held out of practice the past two days.
