It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Why is he not playing? why did they use a 2nd round pick on him if they didn't plan on using him? Is this an injury thing or is it just because we have a legion of RBs, which was evident before he became a Patriot. That pick could have been used to cater towards the defense they intended to change.

Vereen missed most of the preseason because of injury. He is probably still learning the playbook since he didn't have the benefit of an offseason to learn it. With so many RBs on the roster and most of them producing, they are probably not rushing him to play.
and he may be cut 2 years from now 'just because'. If you spend a 2nd round pick on guy, you'd think he'd get to touch the ball once in the season, even if it's in returns as stated above.Because the legendary Faulk is back and it's hard to get on the field when you carry 5 RBs.
I'm sure he'll be useful once we get him 3 carries a game in his debut 2 yrs from now though!

Edelman is busy fondling sexy women, maybe Vereen has an opening on special teams.
Depth is a good thing.. not every RB makes it through the season.
This could be BJGE and Faulks last season..
The bigger question is why was he drafted.
