Woodhead escapes major injury

Patriots RB Danny Woodhead has a sprained ankle, but no broken bone or torn knee ligaments. It's unclear what his status will be for week 5.

Woodhead's presence won't help clear up a crowded backfield in New England, where he's joined by BenJarvus Green-Ellis (The Law Firm, one of football's great nicknames) and promising rookie Stevan Ridley.
