Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy owners and the Patriots can breathe a sigh of relief following this news. The injury looked terrible, but it now appears the rookie running back may miss just limited time if he misses any time at all. With a Monday night game against the Bills in Week 8, he'll have an extra day to prepare, but based on the opponent, the Patriots may just hold him out as Vegas doesn't expect the game to be all that close with the team opening up the week as 13.5 point favorites. Don't be surprised if Michel is out for Week 8.
