New England Patriots running backs Mike Gillislee and Rex Burkhead are reportedly expected to miss Saturday's AFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Tennessee Titans at Gillette Stadium due to knee injuries.
Adam Schefter of ESPN provided the status updates.
Gillislee, 27, was signed by the Patriots this offseason to help fill LeGarrette Blount's role as the early-down workhorse and between-the-tackles bruiser for the Patriots offense. While Blount signed in Philadelphia, Gillislee joined the Pats after rushing for 577 yards and eight touchdowns with the Buffalo Bills in the 2016 season.
