Report: Dion Lewis' recovery has been 'encouraging'

James White couldn't corral several sideline passes from Tom Brady during the AFC Championship game, which could have changed the tenor of the contest, and, perhaps, history.

The prevailing thought throughout New England remains that had Dion Lewis not torn his ACL, he catches those passes, sending the Patriots to the Super Bowl.

While we can't change history, we can look forward to Lewis' return in 2016.

To that end, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports that Lewis' recovery has been "encouraging" to Dr. James Andrews, who performed the ACL surgery in November.
