Dion Lewis 'probably' won't practice for Patriots this week
New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis (knee, PUP) "probably" won't practice this week, head coach Bill Belichick said.
Lewis suffered a setback during the preseason in his recovery from knee surgery, forcing him to open the year on the Patriots' PUP list. Week 7 is the first game he's eligible to return, but not practicing guarantees Lewis won't be making his season debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. James White will continue to handle the passing-down duties out of New England's backfield.
Among the 26 running backs with at least 20 targets this season, White's 0.47 Reception Net Expected Points per target are the fifth-most.
