Patriots running back James White will be out indefinitely after suffering a subluxation of the hip, NFL Network reported Monday.
A subluxation is considered to be a partial dislocation. Washington quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick also suffered a hip subluxation, in Week 1. Fitzpatrick is electing to rehab instead of having surgery and is expected to miss eight weeks.
On Monday, coach Bill Belichick said White was still undergoing tests.
Early in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Saints, White had to be carted off the field after going down on a 6-yard rush.
