Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to miss the "next few weeks" with a plantaris tendon injury to his knee, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The plantaris tendon starts at the bottom of the femur and runs behind the knee down to the Achilles tendon. Stevenson will miss this Sunday's game vs. the Lions and then gets a Week 11 bye. It sounds like he'll at least have a chance to be back for Week 12's meeting with the Chargers. Week 13 is a big game against the Bills.

Kiner finished as the RB15 for Week 9 so far, running 8 times for 55 yards and a TD against the Packers. He averaged 6.9 yards per carry with a long of 20. He also returned 9 kicks for 224 yards. Kiner played just 11 snaps, but that changed when Rhamondre Stevenson left with a knee injury. Stevenson had 38 snaps, a receiving TD, and a lost fumble before exiting.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson suffered a knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Packers and was ruled out relatively quickly. He was at least able to make it off the field under his own power. We'll update his status when we know more. With RB TreVeyon Henderson out, New England is down to RBs Corey Kiner and Lan Larison.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was hospitalized for "several days" with an "unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms," he said in a statement. Tests have come back positive, but Henderson's strength, coordination, and physical functions have been impacted, Henderson added. We'll keep you updated on his status, but it doesn't sound like Henderson will be playing football again any time soon. He's droppable from most redraft rosters. Henderson's absence leaves Rhamondre Stevenson's as New England's lead back and Corey Kiner as the No. 2. Kiner is worth stashing as a handcuff.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson posted season-highs in carries (19) and yards (82) in Sunday’s win over the Dolphins. He added 3 catches for 8 yards, seeing the boosted workload with TreVeyon Henderson inactive.

The Patriots have downgraded WR A.J. Brown and RB TreVeyon Henderson to out for Sunday's game at Miami. That's not a shock in either case, given that both players missed practice Thursday and Friday. The absences provide boosts in opportunity upside to RB Rhamondre Stevenson, RB Corey Kiner, and WR Demario Douglas. Before Brown returned for last week's game at Chicago, Douglas supplied receiving lines of 4-65-2 and 7-86-1 the previous two weeks. He becomes an intriguing PPR play against a weak Miami defense. Check our Week 8 rankings for all the adjustments.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson tallied 115 total yards and a TD in Thursday night’s loss to the Bears. He carried just 6 times for 22 yards in a game New England trailed throughout. But he led the team with 93 receiving yards on 5 catches. The vast majority of that production came on a 48-yard catch-and-run TD at the end of the first half. The Bears defense fell asleep on a short dump-off to Stevenson, allowing him to weave untouched into the end zone.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. It's a big surprise after Tuesday's report that Henderson suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 5. That was either an erroneous report, or Henderson has the mildest high-ankle sprain of all time. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few weeks. At minimum, it looks like he'll avoid a multi-week absence.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Raiders, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's typically a 4- to 6-week injury, although Schefter says Henderson "is regarded as a quick healer, so the Patriots are hoping his return is sooner rather than later." It sounds like Henderson should at least avoid short-term IR, but we'll find out for sure later this week. We'd at least plan on Henderson missing the next 2 games vs. the Jets and Bears. Rhamondre Stevenson will be a borderline RB1 for those contests as New England's workhorse. Corey Kiner will step in as a lightly used No. 2 RB.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. Stevenson said Friday that he was “ready to go,” although HC Mike Vrabel sounded unsure of his availability for this one multiple times throughout the week. Stevenson certainly comes with some added risk in fantasy lineups today.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is expected to play vs. the Raiders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Stevenson was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. HC Mike Vrabel sounded unsure of his status throughout the week, but Stevenson said Friday that he was "ready to go." The knee adds some risk to his Week 5 profile. Check your Team Dashboard to see if Stevenson belongs in your starting lineup.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He was limited in practice all week, and HC Mike Vrabel sounded unsure of Stevenson’s availability for this one multiple times. But Stevenson said Friday that he’s “ready to go.” We’ll look for further updates on his status and get New England’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. It’s safe to assume that Stevenson won’t be at 100% if he does suit up for this one. That makes RB TreVeyon Henderson a more intriguing Week 5 fantasy start.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He limped off late in last week's win over the Bills, and HC Mike Vrabel would only say before practice today that Stevenson "has a chance" to play against the Raiders on Sunday. Getting on the field early in the week should have him on track to play, but Stevenson's status will be worth monitoring the rest of the week. His absence would turn RB TreVeyon Henderson into a strong fantasy start.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 13 times for 47 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and a TD in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills. He also caught 3 of 5 targets for 27 yards, which added up to 16.4 PPR points. Stevenson played 50 of the team's 76 snaps (65.8%) and ran 25 routes. He suffered a right knee injury with about a minute left in the game. He walked off the field, so that will need to be monitored this week.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson made his season debut against the Steelers in Week 2 after missing Week 1 against the Seahawks due to an ankle injury. The team’s Wednesday game last week gave him a few extra days to recover. Henderson proved effective, rushing 16 times for 76 yards and a TD. That TD came on an explosive 39-yard run that showcased Henderson’s deep speed.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll make his 2026 debut against the Steelers on Sunday. Henderson was behind RB Rhamondre Stevenson in the pecking order all summer and figures to operate as the No. 2 RB this weekend. Consider him a big-play-dependent RB3 or flex play in fantasy lineups.
