InjuryRhamondre Stevenson (knee) will not return in the Patriots’ Week 9 game against the Packers.
Stevenson suffered his knee injury late in the third quarter, but was eventually able to make it to the field under his own power. After spending a few moments in the blue medical tent, Stevenson went to the locker room and was ruled out soon after by the team. The 28-year-old back managed just 32 scoreless yards on six carries, but hauled in a 30-yard reception from Drake Maye in the second quarter, finishing the day with a 3-46-1 line on four targets. With TreVeyon Henderson (illness) sidelined with neurological concerns, the Patriots could be looking at using Corey Kiner as their top back entering Week 10 against the Lions.
