Rex Burkhead (neck, injured reserve) practices for Patriots Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (neck, injured reserve) returned to practice Thursday.

What It Means:

Burkhead is first eligible to play in Week 13 versus the New England Patriots. He last played in Week 3 and has since likely fallen behind Sony Michel and James White on the backfield depth chart.

Burkhead rushed 24 times for 86 yards and caught 3 passes (6 targets) for 31 yards before landing on IR.
