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.
