Running back Sony Michel hopes his knee will be 100 percent and ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season, but the Patriots are taking things cautiously with Michel at the start of training camp.
Michel, who sat out the Patriots’ offseason workouts after reportedly undergoing a knee scope, was one of six Patriots placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday. Also placed on the list were receiver Demaryius Thomas, special teamer Nate Ebner, defensive end Dietrich Wise, cornerback Ken Webster, and tackle Cole Croston. Rookie offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste, who had quadriceps surgery before the draft, was placed on the non-football injury list.
