In addition to Phillip Dorsett, the Patriots will be without another one of their playmakers against the Giants Thursday night.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, running back Rex Burkhead is not expected to play. He missed last week's game against the Redskins, and was listed as questionable.
This potentially could mean the debut of running back Damien Harris, but it didn't happen last week. With rain and windy conditions expected, it could be a heavy running game. Look for Sony Michel and James White to have big nights.
In four games, Burkhead has 112 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries.
