James White Injury History & Analysis

Pats RB James White remains without a “clear timetable” to come off the PUP list, per insider Jeff Howe. The possibility remains that White, who’s rehabbing a hip injury, stays on the PUP list to start the season. Rhamondre Stevenson remains the favorite for passing-down work.

Patriots RB James White (hip) has been placed on the PUP list to begin training camp. It's no surprise after he missed all offseason workouts and was reportedly still walking with an "uncomfortable gait" at a recent charity event. 30 years old and coming off significant hip surgery, White's availability and effectiveness in 2022 are in serious question. He's not worth a pick in fantasy drafts right now.

Patriots RB James White is working back from a September hip injury that ended his 2021 season. According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, White still seemed to be walking with "an uncomfortable gait" at a community event Wednesday. This is far from an official update on the health of a player who is reporting early to training camp to continue rehab. But Reiss has been on the Patriots beat a long time, and his observations are worth acknowledging. White got a 2-year deal to re-sign with New England this offseason, but that pact included just $500,000 guaranteed. He's not a lock to make the regular-season roster if the hip isn't ready.
