Report: James White inactive after sudden death of father
The New England Patriots are set to take on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football, but they will be without running back James White. White was listed as inactive by the team prior to kickoff, and then it was reported that White’s parents were in a car accident Sunday. White’s father passed away, and White’s mother remains in critical condition.
Sad news to report. 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.

White has been a staple of New England’s offense the past few seasons, and last week he had three catches for 30 yards, and five rushes for 22 yards.
Everyone at Touchdown Wire has White and his family in their thoughts and prayers tonight.
