White was inactive for Sunday's game due to the death of his father
James White might not be active Sunday night, but he’s not far from the minds of New England Patriots players.
White was a late scratch for the Pats’ game against the Seattle Seahawks after learning of the death of his father, Tyrone, who was involved in a car accident Sunday. White’s mother also was involved in the crash and is in critical condition.
In the first series of the Patriots-Seahawks game, Pats safety Devin McCourty had a pick six. After running the ball back, he shouted a message to White.
Prior to the game, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson tweeted hit support to White. The two went to college together at Wisconsin.
