HOUSTON -- The last time LeGarrette Blount played at NRG Stadium, he injured his hip in the first half and did not return to the Dec. 13, 2015 game against the Houston Texans.
The New England Patriots running back missed the rest of the season after suffering the injury and had to spend his offseason recovering and preparing for the 2016 season.
Now, Blount and the Patriots will return to the field to play in Super Bowl LI against the Atlanta Falcons. Blount said he has taken pride in staying healthy this season, and that he hasn’t really thought about how he’d be back on the field in which he suffered the injury.
