JAMES WHITE NEWS

Compiles 59 total yards in return White (personal) rushed three times for 21 yards and brought in seven of eight targets for 38 yards in the Patriots' 26-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Impact Making his return from a two-game absence, White walked into a makeshift backfield missing Sony Michel (quadriceps). However, Michel's absence didn't equate to a bump in opportunities on the ground for White, who instead paced the Patriots in receptions and checked in second in both receiving yardage and targets. With Damien Harris (17 carries, 100 yards) performing well as the clear lead back Monday night, White projects for his usual receiving-heavy role in a Week 5 home battle against the Broncos.

Returns to team White (personal) rejoined the Patriots for practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Damien Harris (finger) was also participating in practice for the first time during the regular season, joining White, Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel and J.J. Taylor to give the team five healthy running backs. White's role as the primary pass catcher seems secure, but everything else in the backfield appears up for grabs. Even White's usage on passing downs was disappointing in his lone appearance this season Week 1, when he was limited to a 30-percent snap share and three targets in a win over the Dolphins. However, the Patriots had 42 rush attempts and only 19 passes in that season opener against Miami, whereas the past two weeks saw Cam Newton featured more often as a passer (44 and 28 throws).
