According to Reiss Sony Michel to start on PUP

Not a shock. For the best.

We're deep at back. No need to rush him in.

As long as he's ready for game 1!

So much for getting him involved in the passing game.

0-16?

Ease him in

White,Harris,Michel,Burkhead,Develin, Bolden........ No problems with one on PUP that I can see.

He's gonna get the Gronk treatment from early on and I'm OK with it. The guy catch up to the pros really fast.

yes, i'm sure it is for the best....

Not for what he does. White is strictly a receiver, Burkhead’s game is not between the tackles and Harris is a question mark.

We got by with less for a quarter of last season.

Looks like Harris will have a bigger and earlier opportunity to show what he can do. Not ideal, but could work out.

No knees

Whatever. Just wish he was healthier.

Yet still effective. Well worth it in his rookie contract.

Good thing they drafted another RB early in the draft, and have a stable of productive veterans.. running game will be fine as long as we don't have a ridiculous wave of injuries like last year

Harris is far from a question mark. The guy is a beast who was dominant in the SEC. Some draft guides even has him as the #1 back in the draft. Burkhead is a better runner than you are giving him credit for. We are loaded at RB. Hell Bolden has to worry about his job again. We will be a top 5 running team once again this season.

Brandon Bolden is rested and ready

I hope this guy can make his first FA deal. The way the RB gets grinded in this league and then tossed aside just doesn't seem fair (not saying the Pats do this, just a consequence of the position).

I bet Jeremy Hill is on speed dial if the Michel situation keeps him out most of training camp.

Better to play it safe and get him back ready to go. As we saw last year, its not how he started but how he finished in Playoffs.
