Patriots' Dion Lewis: Unlikely to practice this week
Head coach Bill Belichick said Lewis (knee) probably won't start practicing this week, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis:
Lewis is eligible to return from the PUP list for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, but the Patriots will likely take a more cautious approach, potentially even waiting until after their Week 9 bye. The team can afford to be patient, as fellow pass-catching back James White was excellent in Sunday's win over the Bengals, catching eight passes for 47 yards and a pair of touchdowns on nine targets.
