Patriots' Sony Michel (quad) removed from Reserve/COVID-19 list, remains on injured reserve

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has been removed from the team's Reserve/COVID-19 list.

What It Means:

Michel was placed on the list two weeks ago after there was a small outbreak within the Patriots organization, but it seems as though he's been cleared of any effects. However, Michel remains on injured reserve with a quad injury, and he'll be eligible to return in Week 9 against the New York Jets. For now, Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead will handle backfield duties.

Our models currently project Michel for 335.36 rushing yards, 52.30 receiving yards and 3.01 total touchdowns going forward this season.
