Reports first surfaced Saturday that Michel would likely be sidelined for the entirety of the preseason after requiring the clean-up procedure. While that still could be the case, it doesn't sound like Michel is at major risk of sitting out the games that count, though the rookie seems like a good bet to retain an injury designation leading up to the Sept. 9 opener against the Texans. The Patriots envision the first-round pick making an immediate impact in his first season and perhaps even leading a backfield committee that also includes Rex Burkhead and James White. However, Michel's snaps could be more limited than initially anticipated in the first few weeks of the season, considering he'll be missing out on valuable snaps in training camp and during the exhibition slate.
