Requires procedure, will miss pre-season
Sony Michel suffered a knee injury that concerned the team Wednesday, source said. He still isn’t at practice.
Further details w/more clarity: Michel’s knee injury requires a procedure that’s expected to keep him out of preseason, and perhaps even into the start of the reg season, per 2 sources. So not a major sigh of relief, but the expectation is Michel should contribute this season. (Jeff Howe on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: The injury happened on Wednesday and it appears will sideline the Pats rookie running back for the time being. The Patriots are notorious for keeping a tight lip on injury situations so it’s hard to predict when Michel will be ready for action. While this is a big blow for his fantasy stock, the Patriots have a stockpile of running backs including Rex Burkhead, James White, Mike Gillislee and Jeremy Hill.
