FOXBORO, Mass. — James White reportedly is done for the season, but he still will have a large impact on the Patriots backfield moving forward.
White likely will miss the rest of the 2021 campaign due to the hip subluxation he suffered Sunday afternoon while playing against the New Orleans Saints. In the days since the veteran was carted off the Gillette Stadium field, Patriots players have been universal in their praise for the 29-year-old captain.
Second-year pro J.J. Taylor, potentially primed to replace White as New England’s third-down back, was asked Thursday about how White has helped him since he entered the NFL.
