Patriots will love latest injury update for veteran running back

The New England Patriots are getting some good news ahead of a Week 1 NFL matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Patriots running back Antonio Gibson is set to play Sunday, per ESPN. He has been dealing with a hip injury.

The Patriots begin a new era on Sunday, as the team no longer has Bill Belichick leading the squad. New England is now in the hands of Jerod Mayo, who is tasked with returning the team to glory. It is certainly good news for Patriots fans that Gibson is planning to play.
