If Harris cannot play through the pain, Stevenson would be the main beneficiary.

Ribs and running backs have been a bad combination this season. Stevenson was the main benefactor from Harris's absence but the workload is unknown should Harris miss Week 6.

Don't look now, but Hunter Henry is starting to heat up a bit. Over the last two weeks, Henry has been able to find his way into the end zone and Sunday's win proved to be the best statistical outing of his Patriots career.

Numbers-wise, Henry was targeted by Mac Jones a team-high eight times and hauled in six receptions for 75 yards, which included a 13-yard touchdown that evened the score up at 22. While it has taken Henry some time to truly be an impactful piece in this New England offense, he has been a reliable outlet for Jones from the jump, catching 20 of his 26 targets on the year. This combination should only get stronger as the season goes along and both players get more comfortable within the offense, the story went on to say.

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 (hip subluxation) is expected to miss the rest of the season according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He was not ruled out for the season earlier this week but updated medical examinations led to a new prognosis.

Really unfortunate situation for the longtime Patriot and veteran in their backfield. J.J. Taylor will see the biggest uptick in passing down work out of the backfield in New Englad.

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 RB James White was carted off the field today and has been ruled out with a hip injury for the remainder of the game against the Saints.

White saw one carry and one target (no receptions) before the injury. Hopefully White is ok. J.J. Taylor could stand to see more work as a result of White’s absence.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (finger) was limited Wednesday according to Zack Cox of NESN. Harris was the newest offensive skill player added to the injury report.

If Harris is limited all week it more than likely will take a chunk of his running workload. That helps James White, J.J. Taylor, and Rhamondre Stevenson if he is active Week 3.
