Rex Burkhead, Trent Brown Not On Injury Report
6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) and left tackle Trent Brown were not listed on the Week 1 injury report. The Patriots have been being cautious with Burkhead for a while, but it looks like he will suit up in the season opener against the Texans. It's expected that he'll be the main back for the Patriots, and he should have a heavy workload in Week 1 with wide receiver Julian Edelman suspended. Burkhead should be started in most leagues.
