Sony Michel soon could rejoin the New England Patriots’ crowded backfield.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Tuesday he hopes to activate the third-year running back off injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Houston Texans.
“We’ll see,” Belichick said when asked whether Michel will be activated this week. “Sony’s been working hard. He’s practiced the last two weeks, so we’ll see how things go this week. But hopefully.”
Michel, the Patriots’ primary ball-carrier since the start of the 2018 season, has missed six consecutive games with a quad injury and also spent time on the reserve/COVID-19 list last month.
