Adam Schefter shares major update on Rhamondre Stevenson injury

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is currently expected to be out for a brief period following the knee injury he sustained during the team's loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The duration of Stevenson's absence remains uncertain, but it certainly adds another challenge for a Patriots squad that has been plagued by injuries on a regular basis.

The injury affects Stevenson in more ways than one, as he not only served as the team's top rusher but also played a crucial role in pass protection and provided a reliable receiving option for quarterback Drake Maye. The Patriots are already without second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson, who has missed the past two games due to a mysterious illness. This leaves Corey Kiner as the new starting running back and Lan Larison as a reserve option for the team.

In an effort to cover for Stevenson's absence, the Patriots may consider promoting Terrell Jennings from the practice squad for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions. In addition to Stevenson and Henderson, the team's depth at the running back position is further strained, potentially forcing quarterback Drake Maye to adapt as he continues to navigate the season without one of his preferred offensive weapons.
