Patriots RB 'Ready to Go' Week 5 vs. Raiders Despite Injury, Questionable Tag

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is listed as questionable for Week 5 but insists he's "ready to go."

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is prepared to play in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders despite suffering a knee injury in last week's game. Stevenson, who scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 4, was limited in practice this week but remains listed as questionable for the upcoming contest.

The sixth-year pro, who has been split with fellow running back TreVeyon Henderson in the backfield, has been averaging a per-play low in rushing yards (3.7) this season. The duo, however, remains a key component for New England, who are without star wideout A.J. Brown due to an ankle injury.

Las Vegas, on the other hand, may be without their star running back Ashton Jeanty, who is also listed as questionable due to ankle and foot injuries. The Raiders have other key defenders, including starting cornerbacks Carlton Davis III and Christian Gonzalez, who will also miss the game due to injuries.
