Bolden had four carries for 34 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

With Dion Lewis (knee) out, Bolden split snaps with James White and LeGarrette Blount throughout the first half. Tyler Gaffney then handled most of the work after halftime, taking nine carries for 64 yards and a touchdown. Blount is still the favorite to serve as New England's top power back, but he could face pressure from both Bolden and Gaffney this preseason.
