EXPECT PATRIOTS TO TREAD CAREFULLY AS LEWIS NEARS RETURN FROM KNEE SURGERY

FOXBORO - Dion Lewis is apparently set to come back to the practice field this week, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, and you ought to anticipate that the Patriots will move deliberately as the running back edges more like an arrival.

The group will have until November 16 to choose whether to initiate Lewis, who tore his ACL keep going season against Washington on November 9. The ACL recuperated fine for Lewis after surgery was performed by eminent games orthopedist, Dr. James Andrews. However, knee torment that created amid the mid year was observed to be a patella stretch break. That sort of damage is uncommon yet not unbelievable after ACL repairs as quadriceps flexion can put weight on a joined range (and Lewis has monster quads). The cure is embeddings tightens the patella which was done for Lewis' situation.

Presently, with the "clock" began on Lewis' arrival from the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, deciding how well he reacts to the expanded workload of practice and after that cushioned practice and hitting will be the following stride in figuring out if he returns by the center of one month from now or is put on IR.

Then, the execution of James White so far has relieved the sting of Lewis' nonappearance. While Lewis' arrival wouldn't be quickened construct upon with respect to handle require – this isn't a "surge them back"- sort damage – the group needs to feel somewhat less direness given White's commitments so far as a runner and collector. White is on pace for a profession year, with 27 gatherings for 244 yards and three touchdowns.
