The Facts: Morris expressed frustration yesterday that he is sidelined after gaining a career-high 138 yards against the Broncos Oct. 20, but he indicated his knee injury will not threaten the rest of his season. Morris declined to detail his injury or place a timetable on his return, instead using the words often spoken by coach Bill Belichick regarding injured players. "Bill describes it [as] day to day and that's how I describe it. I'll be back ASAP," he said.
Diehards Line:With Morris and LaMont Jordan (calf) sidelined Sunday against the Rams, the Patriots had just three healthy running backs: Kevin Faulk, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, and Heath Evans. Belichick did not reveal yesterday whether Morris or Jordan would be ready for action Sunday at Indianapolis.
