The Facts: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Vereen will be active for tonight's game.

Diehards Line:Schefter added the Patriots plan to ease Vereen into action after he has missed two-plus months with wrist injury. That said, Vereen has been practicing the last week and the team has increased his workload in recent days. He still seems like a risky play tonight -- but the return to his previous role is imminent.
