Despite the season being in its early stages, the New England Patriots have certainly had to deal with their fair share of injuries so far. While the Patriots were hit hard by injuries at wide receiver in training camp, they now have some issues at running back.
After missing the entire preseason, Sony Michel was out in Week 1 against the Houston Texans with a knee injury. In the win, the Patriots used a lot of Rex Burkhead as expected. Unfortunately for the Patriots, Burkhead’s backup, Jeremy Hill, suffered a season-ending ACL tear in the win.
