BOSTON (CBS) — New England's depth at running back is actually improving.
Sony Michel is expected to play this weekend in Tennessee after missing the last two weeks with an ankle injury, and on Thursday, running back Rex Burkhead returned to practice. Burkhead has been on injured reserve since suffering a neck injury in the New England's Week 3 loss in Detroit, and is not eligible to play until Week 13 (Dec. 2) against the Minnesota Vikings.
