Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday running back Shane Vereen, who has been out since injuring his wrist in Week 1, isn't "too far off" from returning to practice. Belichick said Vereen is in the day-to-day category.
Vereen was placed on short-term injured reserve after getting hurt in the season opener. He's eligible to practice, but he's not eligible to play yet. Vereen is only eligible to play after sitting out eight weeks.
