The Patriots placed James White on injured reserve Friday, TSN.ca reports. White injured the hip during the second quarter of the Patriots’ loss to the Saints last Sunday. White is expected to be out for the remainder of the season due to the injury. Before the injury, White had 38 rushing yards, a score, and had caught 12 passes for 94 yards.
White may not be a true playmaker, but the Patriots can’t afford to lose anyone of value on the offensive side of the ball. Plus, he was a safety valve out of the backfield for rookie quarterback Mac Jones.
