Dion Lewis is eligible to return in Week 7, but New England Patriots should not rush him back

Starting this week, all players on the Physically Unable to Perform rundown are qualified to start rehearsing.

You recognize what that implies.

Wednesday could check the arrival of Dion Lewis, the element New England Patriots running back who found the middle value of almost 90 yards from scrimmage down the middle a season a year prior.

Points of interest on Lewis' recuperation from his most recent surgery have been rare. It was accounted for by CSNNE's Tom Curran that the surgery was not identified with knee tendons. Lewis, obviously, had the ACL in his left knee repaired in November of 2015.

We don't absolutely know how far along Lewis is in his most recent recovery. We likewise don't recognize what precisely his most recent recovery involves.

What we do know:

**The Patriots won't have any desire to bring Dion Lewis back unless he is genuinely Dion Lewis, unless he is equipped for making the hazardous hop cuts and alter of-course moves that characterize his diversion.

Dion Lewis returning from a knee harm dislike Adrian Peterson or Todd Gurley returning from a knee damage. Lewis isn't a solid, intense, one-cut-and-go runner. To be a successful player, Lewis depends intensely on his reality class sidelong briskness. Wounds to knee tendons can impede parallel speed.

Lewis had his ACL surgery precisely 11 months prior today. For most competitors, that is a lot of time to recuperate. Given Lewis' second strategy, and given his reliance on side-to-side development, we can't make sure he will promptly come back to his 2015 frame.

**Once Lewis starts rehearsing, the Patriots have a 21-day window to move him to the dynamic list or place him on harmed save.

To improve the course of events:

The soonest Lewis can come back to practice: This week The most recent Lewis can start honing: Tuesday, November 22 The most punctual Lewis can make his 2016 introduction: Week 7 versus Pittsburgh The most recent Lewis can make his 2016 presentation: Week 14 versus Baltimore

**We realize that, at this moment, the Patriots needn't bother with Lewis. Amazingly, they are 5-1 and alone on the AFC regardless of missing Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and Dont'a Hightower for developed extends amid the start of this season.

James White has made a fine showing with regards to filling in for Lewis. His 15 touches Sunday against the Bengals denoted a profession high. Additionally: Only once in Lewis' seven recreations a year prior did he best 15 touches in an amusement.

White is not almost as capable as Lewis, but rather he is "reliable, intense, and predictable," as Bill Belichick put it.

"On the off chance that he commits an error, he strives to enhance it," Belichick said Monday. "He unquestionably has expertise as a runner, beneficiary; a capacity to break handles and make individuals miss in the open field, so he's been a profitable player for us. His part hasn't been being there on each and every down constantly, however when he has been in there, he's been profoundly gainful and he made some enormous plays for us yesterday."

For whatever length of time that the Patriots keep on rolling, there is no motivation to surge Lewis back onto the field. Profundity and early season achievement have managed the Patriots the advantage of bringing Lewis along gradually. On the off chance that the Pats need to hold him out until late November or early December — basically giving him a two-month season — this would be impeccably sensible.

Everything the Patriots do ought to be intended for January. That is the point at which a sound Dion Lewis can have all the effect.
