Patriots' James White Expected To Be Out For Season

Sep 30, 2021 9:06 AM

New England Patriots running back James White is expected to miss the rest of the season with a hip injury, according to sources.

White immediately rolled over and grabbed for his right hip after after a 6-yard gain in this past Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

"James is the quiet leader. Obviously not having a guy like that hurts as a team," Devin McCourty said. "He had gotten off to a great start, and you just hate to see the long road to recovery that comes with being injured, but he's one of the toughest people I've been around. I know he'll bounce back."

Entering Sunday's game, White led the Patriots with 12 receptions for 94 yards. He had 38 yards on 10 carries this season.

Ankle Sprain Won't Slow Dalvin Cook In Week 3

Sep 23, 2021 7:23 AM

The winless Minnesota Vikings still plan to ride Dalvin Cook in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks despite a right ankle injury.

Mike Zimmer classified the injury as a "little sprain."

"You know, at this stage, it's time to get some wins," Zimmer said. "Dalvin's a tough guy. If he can't play, there's a reason why he's not playing. But he makes us go, so we're going to continue to play him."

Cook was injured with 9:52 remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals when he was tackled low by J.J. Watt. The running back sported an Ace bandage on his right ankle during media availability Wednesday, and did not participate in practice.

Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for the Miami Dolphins' Week 3 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to fractured ribs.

Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with a left pectoral injury.

"I don't know specifically when Ben got injured in game," Tomlin said. "I don't know that he does. You know, sometimes just in the midst of competition, adrenaline and so forth, you just don't know. Sometimes things just come up after."

Roethlisberger was sacked just twice, but hit 10 times in the Pittsburgh Steelers' loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
