Patriots Player Missing Seahawks Matchup After Sudden Passing of His Father

The New England Patriots didn’t plan to miss any of their veteran players in the road game against the Seattle Seahawks. Well, the organization was struck with a tragedy as one of their members has lost his father.

Patriots running back James White won’t join his teammates in Seattle due to the family tragedy. Andy Slater from Fox Sports reported that White’s dad, Tyrone, died in a car crash earlier today. White’s mom was in the car and she is in the hospital and her condition is critical.

“Patriots’ RB James White’s father was in a car crash today and did not survive. His mother was also in the car and is in critical condition. White’s father, Tyrone, was a captain with the Miami-Dade Police Department. James was told and is inactive tonight.”

The White family is dealing with a big tragedy right now and words can’t describe their pain. NFL fans are sending their thoughts and prayers to the family. It will take a lot of time for White to get over the terrible loss.

Patriots will confront the Seahawks without a running back

New England Patriots will play their Game 2 without a key player. Missing a running back in the scheme is a big issue and this game is really important for the team. But, head coach Bill Belichick takes this scenario into consideration every time he creates a gameplan. This time he will confront Seattle with a different formula and we believe that he has a nice Plan B.

White has a key role in the Patriots winning scheme and playing without him will give the Patriots a big headache. Of course, everyone is really understanding because tragedies of this kind can happen to anyone. Death comes unannounced and affects pretty much every part of our lives. White lost his father and we can’t even imagine his pain.

Hopefully, the veteran will join his team next Sunday. It’s a tough situation for the running back and we are sending our prayers to him and his family.
