New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to to a knee injury.
Burkhead's day ended with just four carries for 12 yards, but he did score his sixth touchdown in four weeks.
The injury leaves the Patriots backfield to Dion Lewis and James White to split work in both the rushing and passing games.
