New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead will play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite being listed as questionable with a knee injury, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Burkhead missed the last two games of the regular season and the divisional round.
Mike Gillislee (knee) will be inactive, added Schefter, so Burkhead, James White, and Dion Lewis will split the carries in the Patriots' backfield.
Burkhead will likely be looking to redeem himself, as the back was apparently the teammate that collided with Tom Brady in practice, injuring the quarterback's throwing hand.
Brady is reportedly still set to start despite the injury.
