Michel (knee) was spotted riding a stationary bike as the rest of the team warmed up for Thursday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

We'll have to see if he ends up being listed as a limited or non-participant at practice, but it's not especially surprising to see the Patriots manage the practice reps of Michel -- who has logged 43 carries over his last two games -- given that he underwent a knee procedure back in August. The only other running backs on the team's roster are James White and Kenjon Barner, neither of whom is ideally suited to work as an every-down option.
