Rex Burkhead Took Part In Individual Drills Wednesday
6 years agoAlthough New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (concussion) was listed as out in practice on Wednesday, he was on the field and in pads during the afternoon session and took part in individual drills. It's a good sign that Burkhead at least did something, but it's unclear if he's passed the concussion protocol at this point. With him looking questionable for Week 2 against the Jaguars, New England's backfield could be left up to James White and Kenjon Barner. Burkhead's practice participation the rest of the week should give us a better idea, but he'll be a RB3/flex option in PPR leagues if he's active.
