Patriots running back Rex Burkhead undergoes surgery on injured knee - The Boston Globe
The Patriots have yet to disclose the extent of Burkhead's injury, but he posted on social media last week that he was out for the season.

Undergoes surgery
Burkhead announced that he underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Impact
Given that Burkhead -- an impending free agent -- suffered the knee injury Nov. 22, he likely won't be ready to go for OTAs next spring, and his availability for the start of NFL training camps could also be affected. The 30-year-old running back concluded his fourth season in New England with 466 total yards and six touchdowns across 10 games.

Moved to IR
Burkhead (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact
This was simply a transactional designation as Burkhead already ruled himself out for the rest of the season after tearing his ACL. The veteran back will aim to be healthy in time for 2021 training camp.

Rules self out for season
Burkhead (knee) announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he will miss the remainder of the season.
Impact
Though the Patriots have yet to confirm as much, Burkhead is believed to have suffered a torn ACL to his right knee during Sunday's loss to the Texans. Assuming that's the case, Burkhead will likely undergo surgery in the coming days as he aims to get back to full speed before teams convene for training camp in 2021. In the meantime, the Patriots are likely to rely more heavily on James White as the clear top change-of-pace option behind lead ballcarrier Damien Harris.

May have torn ACL
The Patriots are concerned that Burkhead tore the ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 27-20 loss at Houston, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Burkhead suffered a knee injury in the second half and was unable to return to the game. If the Pats' fears come to fruition, he'll end the campaign with 274 rushing yards, 192 yards receiving and six total touchdowns in 10 games. In that scenario, James White would become the team's primary pass-catching option out of the backfield.

Suffers knee injury
Burkhead was forced out of Sunday's game against the Texans with a right knee injury.
Impact
With Burkhead out of the game and quite possibly beyond, Damien Harris and James White are on hand to handle the Patriots' rushing duties Sunday, while Sony Michel -- who was inactive for the contest -- is a candidate to rejoin the mix in Week 12.
