Some sad new to report coming out of New England.

Patriots running back James White will miss Sunday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to the death of his father.

According to Fox Sports' Andy Slater, White's father, Tyrone, was killed in a car accident earlier today and his mother is in the hospital in critical condition.

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.

This is obviously very sad news for White and it will leave the Patriots without a key running back in their scheme in a big Sunday night game against the Seahawks.
