Patriots' Dion Lewis: Has yet to start practicing

Lewis (knee/PUP list) did not practice Wednesday, CSN New England reports.

Analysis:

Lewis -- who tore his left ACL last November and is bouncing back from an additional procedure on his knee in August -- is still expected to join his teammates at practice this week, and once that occurs, the Patriots will have a three-week window in which to activate the running back. With New England on bye in Week 9, we'd be surprised if we saw Lewis in the game before then, especially with James White handling the team's pass-catching back duties capably.
