Tom Brady will be back on the Gillette Stadium game field this Sunday night. One of his old favorite targets will not be.
James White, the New England Patriots’ top pass-catching back during the final half-decade of the Brady era, suffered a hip subluxation during last Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints. He had to be carted to the locker room and will be “out indefinitely,” according to a report Monday.
Losing White — who’d also become a valuable resource for New England’s new quarterback, Mac Jones — leaves a massive hole in the Patriots’ backfield.
