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 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 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.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to make his 2026 debut vs. the Steelers this weekend. Henderson was behind RB Rhamondre Stevenson on the depth chart before the ankle injury and is likely to return as the No. 2. That leaves him as just a RB3 or flex option in Week 2 fantasy lineups.

We've gotten plenty of recent indications that the Patriots might miss RB TreVeyon Henderson for Week 1. Sunday provided the first official injury report of the season, and Henderson missed the workout with his ankle injury. We'll get two more days of practice reports before the team puts out game statuses for Wednesday's opener.

Running back TreVeyon Henderson left practice early last Monday with what has been labeled a ‘minor’ ankle injury. But with Mike Reiss reporting that Henderson didn’t practice today, concern is starting to grow that we won’t see him on opening night, which falls on Wednesday for the Patriots. The team will submit its first injury report later today.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson should be "good to go" for Week 1, a source tells The Boston Globe's Christopher Price. Henderson hurt his right ankle on Monday but avoided a serious injury, according to Price. We haven't moved Henderson in the RB rankings due to the ankle, although he has fallen a few spots this month with consistent reporting that Rhamondre Stevenson will open the season as New England's clear lead back.

Christopher Price of Boston Globe Sports reports that “TreVeyon Henderson is getting some ‘precautionary tests’ done on his right ankle, but is walking and moving fine.” Henderson suffered the lower ankle injury after slipping on the turf in yesterday’s practice.

Patriots RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were limited in Tuesday's practice. That gives them both a chance to play vs. the Jets on Thursday night, although we won't be surprised if they're held out on the short week. We'll get New England's final injury report on Wednesday afternoon. RB TreVeyon Henderson will be in for a big workload if Stevenson and Jennings are out.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Mike Vrabel said. We still haven't heard any details on Stevenson's injury, but we're assuming it's turf toe, which can be very debilitating. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him playing vs. the Buccaneers this weekend, which would again leave the backfield to TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 9 depending on the severity of this toe injury. Stevenson’s absence leaves TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings as the only two RBs on the active roster. RBs D’Ernest Johnson, Rushawn Baker, and Jonathan Ward are on the practice squad. The Patriots have been hesitant to give Henderson a big role so far, but we’d be surprised if he didn’t tally 12+ touches in this one, with a ceiling approaching 20. Consider the rookie a moderate-risk, high-reward RB2 play.
