ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon injury that is not expected to require surgery but may sideline him for several weeks.
- Stevenson was injured late in the third quarter during a loss to the Green Bay Packers and is expected to miss upcoming games, including the one against the Detroit Lions in Munich.
- With backup TreVeyon Henderson out due to illness, the Patriots may rely on third and fourth-string running backs Corey Kiner and Lan Larison for the upcoming game.
- Stevenson has been a key offensive player, participating in 65% of snaps with 399 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and notable contributions in pass protection.
- Corey Kiner, acquired from the Arizona Cardinals, has shown promise and may see increased playing time to fill the void left by Stevenson's injury.
