Rhamondre Stevenson’s status in question for Sunday

Though he has had fumbling points (three this season), Stevenson leads the crew with 279 speeding yards to go together with three touchdowns. He and rookie Treveyon Henderson have been carrying the vast majority of the workload out of the backfield since Antonio Gibson tore his ACL in week 5.

New England’s speeding offense has left so much to be desired by the primary 8 weeks, rating 18th in the league for speeding yards per recreation and 25th in yards per try.

They’ve already been rumored to be in for a operating again earlier than the commerce deadline, so we are going to see if this damage performs an element within the coming days.

If Stevenson’s damage persists and he’s dominated out for Sunday, Henderson will doubtless get the chance to guide the backfield. Up to now, Henderson hasn’t gotten as many touches as many expected after his thrilling preseason, so this may very well be an opportunity for him to show himself.

Together with Henderson, New England added second-year Terrell Jennings to their roster, and signed veteran again D’Ernest Johnson to the follow squad.

After going undrafted in 2024, Jennings says he’s prepared for the work it takes to play within the NFL.

“It means so much,” Jennings stated within the locker room on Wednesday by way of ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “It additionally means I have to go work tougher; getting signed to the 53-man [roster] is only a signature to me. I really feel like I nonetheless have to do the work I used to be doing, and really flip it up some extra.”

Jennings has seven carries for 33 yards within the final two video games, and can doubtless function the second possibility behind Henderson this weekend.

Stevenson and the Patriots can have another follow on Friday earlier than figuring out his standing for Sunday’s matchup with Atlanta.
