As the New England Patriots get ready for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13, they will be getting some extra depth in their backfield. After missing pretty much the entire season so far, Rex Burkhead has been activated off injured reserve and will be available to play against the Vikings.
With the playoffs in sight, the Patriots are certainly getting healthy at the right time. Against the New York Jets, we began to see the Patriots finally operating at full strength on offense. Having Rob Gronkowski back and looking right is obviously huge for the Patriots and should help fix some of their red zone woes.
