New England Patriots running back Sony Michel was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to an apparent knee injury. While the Patriots were mum on the situation following the game, Michel will reportedly undergo an MRI on Monday, a source told Pro Football Talk.

The rookie was helped off the field after running for 22 yards on four carries and recording one 13-yard reception. He was initially listed as questionable to return but was quickly downgraded to out.

The Patriots' running game struggled without the 31st overall pick of April's draft. James White led the way with 40 yards on 11 carries, while Kenjon Barner added 10 carries for 36 yards in New England's 38-31 victory.
