Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to miss the next few weeks with a plantaris tendon issue at the back of his knee, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported. The injury is not expected to require surgery.
Stevenson was injured late in Sunday’s 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers after being tackled following a six-yard reception. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.
The Patriots face the Detroit Lions before their Week 11 bye. With Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, who has been sidelined by illness, unavailable, Corey Kiner and Lan Larison are the only running backs on New England’s active roster. Terrell Jennings is on the practice squad.
Newsweek reported that Stevenson had 499 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 102 carries through nine games. He also has 26 catches for 258 yards and two receiving touchdowns, and has played 65% of the Patriots’ offensive snaps this season.
