Lan Larison: Everything you need to know

Larison (foot) is participating in OTAs, Sophie Weller of Patriots Wire reports. The running back suffered a season-ending foot injury during an August preseason game last year, but he appears to be healthy now. In fact, Larison seems to be leading the competition for the third running back spot behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, per Weller. Jam Miller, Myles Montgomery and Terrell Jennings are also part of that competition.

The Patriots placed Larison (foot) on injured reserve Sunday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Larison suffered the injury during his two-yard touchdown run at the 3:25 mark in the fourth quarter of Friday's preseason win over the Commanders. He was seen in a walking boot after the game and was diagnosed with a foot injury that is severe enough for him to require season-ending surgery, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. The Patriots signed running back Deneric Prince to the roster in a corresponding move.

Larison was spotted wearing a walking boot following the Patriots' 48-18 preseason win over the Commanders on Friday, Michael Giardi of BostonSportsJournal.com reports. Larison went back to the locker room shortly after scoring the Patriots' final touchdown of the game at the 3:25 mark in the fourth quarter, per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald. The walking boot might be a precautionary measure. However, he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the undrafted rookie is in danger of missing the Patriots' second preseason contest against the Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 16. Larison finished Friday's game with seven carries for 35 yards and two catches on as many targets for nine yards.
