Patriots RB Damien Harris checked out OK after yesterday’s game, source said.

Harris was limited with rib and chest injuries, but tests ruled out anything significant and he’s best described as day-to-day, Rapoport went on say. Harris carried 14 times for 58 yards and a TD but his status for Week 6 is still in doubt at this point. Stevenson carried 11 times for an unimpressive 23 yards, but would likely get the early-down carries if Harris can't go. Bolden caught four balls but for just six yards and looks to be the team's passing down back. It's possible Taylor could get back in the mix if Harris has to miss time.

Patriots RB James White suffered a subluxation of the hip during yesterday’s game, per me and Mike Giardi.

The injury knocks the key offensive player out indefinitely, according to Rapoport. White has been undergoing tests today, but an IR stint would make sense. White had 12 catches over the first two weeks for 94 yards before getting hurt Week 3. Bolden filled in in Week 3 but it's likely Taylor or Stevenson will see more of that role going forward.

Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears said he feels confident running back Damien Harris will "step up to the plate" after his late-game fumble against the Dolphins. "We have not had a problem with him," Fears said.

There were stories Monday the Patriots were going limit Harris' workload as a result of his fumble. With Sony Michel now in LA, next up is rookie Stevenson, but Stevenson fumbled in the game as well and lost playing time, and the Patriots aren't loaded with safer options. So this is at least a good sign the team will continue to trust Harris. Harris now comes with some risk in Week 2 until we see his workload.

Patriots running back Rex Burkhead left Sunday’s loss to the Texans with a knee injury and the fear after the game was that he tore his ACL.

Confirmation on that initial diagnosis won’t come on Monday. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that Burkhead did not travel back from Houston with the team on Sunday.

“He didn’t travel back with us from Houston. He’ll be coming back soon. We’ll do tests and evaluate him when he gets back,” Belichick said, via Doug Kyed of NESN.

The story said further evaluation of his injury won’t happen until he does return. Michel is rumored to be back soon and would join Harris and White in the Patriots backfield assuming Burkhead is going to miss some time.
