With things going so well with LeGarrette Blount and James White in the backfield, there is no need to rush Lewis back so it wouldn\u2019t be a shock if the team took nearly the entire 21 days.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Belichick was asked this morning if Lewis was indeed coming back to practice. In typical Belichick fashion, he answered laconically \u201cIf he is, we&#8217;ll let you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lewis was a dynamic playmaker for the Patriots a year ago. While he is a different sort of runner and receiver than White, the passing game hasn\u2019t suffered at all this year. Lewis is a better runner in the rushing attack but again White has made significant improvements this year.<\/p>\n<p>Now they\u2019ll have a pair of receiving backs that are dangerous in open space. Expect the Patriots to ease him into things slowly, but this is definitely good news for the offense, and the team.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow me on Twitter\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveB7SFG\"><em>@SteveB7SFG<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0or email me at\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/patspub.patsfans.com\/stevebpatsfans@gmail.com\"><em>stevebpatsfans@gmail.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Listen to our\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogtalkradio.com\/patriotsfourthandtwo\"><em>Patriots 4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0and 2<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0podcasts on blog talk radio as the writers Russ Goldman, Derek Havens and I from\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/\"><em>PatsFans.com<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0discuss the latest Patriots news Wednesdays at 12 noon.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Belichick was asked if Lewis was indeed coming back to practice.
