Patriots taking advantage of newfound depth at running back
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — While most of the preseason spotlight for the Patriots focused on who was missing at quarterback, there was just as much uncertainty surrounding the running back position.
LeGarrette Blount was re-signed in the offseason after just missing his second career 1,000-yard season because of a late hip injury. In addition Dion Lewis, the team’s primary receiving option out of the backfield, was working his way back from surgery for a torn ACL in his left knee.
