Patriots' Sony Michel: Limited at practice Wednesday

Michel (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, NESN.com reports.

Michel returned to practice lat Saturday before being ruled out ahead of the Patriots' win over the Bills on Monday night. The rookie's continued practice participation for the first session of Week 9 suggests that the running back could return to action Sunday against the Packers. In his absence in Week 8, wideout Cordarrelle Patterson led the team with 10 carries, while James White ran eight times and Kenjon Barner rushed twice. Once back up to speed, Michel will reclaim his role as the Patriots' top back, while White will maintain PPR utility thanks to his pass-catching prowess.
