The Facts: Blount, who projects as the New England Patriots' lead running back, left Friday's practice after injuring his right leg.

Diehards Line: Blount, who among other things appeared to be having his right knee examined by the athletic training staff, walked off the field slowly under his own power after remaining down for a few minutes. At one point, while Blount lay prone on the ground, HC Bill Belichick approached him, which reflected the general concern of the situation. His absence from practice moves Jonas Gray up a notch on the depth chart.
