Positive update on health status of Patriots RB Pierre Strong Jr.

Pierre Strong Jr. has been dealing with injury issues as of late, but there was an encouraging update on Sunday. ESPN’s Mike Reiss revealed in his Sunday notes column that the New England Patriots running back was dealing with a concussion.

However, he is expected to rejoin the team this week.

Strong suffered the concussion in the preseason opener against the Houston Texans on August 10. Now, he will have his chance to rejoin a running back room that’s a bit more crowded with the Patriots signing Ezekiel Elliott.
