Latest injury report on Patriots RB Pierre Strong Jr. is encouraging originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
New England Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr. was not available to play in Saturday night's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field because of an injury.
Fortunately for the Patriots, he should be back on the field pretty soon.
ESPN's Mike Reiss reported Sunday that Strong didn't travel to Green Bay because he was in the concussion protocol, but the plan is for the second-year running back to rejoin the team this week barring an "unexpected turn.
