Sprained knee for Burkhead? MRI today Should be back for the playoffs By: Mike Krueger | Dec 18 2017, 9:00 am
Heading into the MRI, the #Patriots believe RB Rex Burkhead suffered a sprained knee, along with a bruise from a player landing on it. No torn ACL. The early hope is for a return for the playoffs. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take:The Patriots lost one of their cogs in the running back group yesterday. It sounds like Burkhead avoided a season-ending injury but an MRI is coming today. Dion Lewis, James White and Mike Gillislee will handle running back duties during the final two weeks of the regular season.
