Patriots RB James White out for the season with hip injury

Patriots running back James White will miss the rest of the season with the hip injury he suffered last Sunday against the Saints, a league source told the Herald.

White was carted off in the second quarter after getting tackled on a third-down run along New Orleans’ sideline. The 29-year-old reportedly endured a subluxation of his right hip. White had been thriving in his longtime role as a third-down back and led the Pats in receptions through their first two games.

A combination of J.J. Taylor, fourth-round rookie Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden, who assumed most of White’s duties last weekend. He finished with three catches and three rushes for minus-one yard. ESPN first reported White’s injury will be season-ending.

The Pats return to action Sunday night at home against the Buccaneers.
