New England Patriots RB Leon Washington could be on the roster bubble because he has only been on the field for three of the team’s 10 kick returns during the preseason. RB LeGarrette Blount returned kicks in the third preseason, and WR Josh Boyce has also been used as a returner.

Footballguys View: Washington could play the role vacated by Danny Woodhead but that’s going to be Shane Vereen this season. The veteran back makes for an interesting fit in this backfield as the Patriots have Vereen, Blount, and Brandon Bolden as backup RBs behind Stevan Ridley.
