Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson Expected to Miss Limited Time with Knee Tendon Issue
Reporters say Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has a knee tendon problem that could sideline him for a short period, though surgery is not anticipated.
ESPN reporter Adam Schefter said Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon issue that could keep him out for a short period of time. Schefter added that the injury is not expected to require surgery. Stevenson left the field late in the third quarter of the recent game, spent time in the team’s medical tent and was ruled out afterward. He finished with six carries for 32 yards and a 30-yard reception. With fellow back TreVeyon Henderson still sidelined due to illness, the Patriots could see Corey Kiner assume a larger role in the backfield for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
"Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon issue that could sideline him for a short period of time," Schefter reported.
The Patriots have listed Stevenson as a limited participant in practice, and his availability for the next game remains uncertain. The team has not disclosed further details about the nature of the tendon problem.
