Injury Details
New England Patriots leading running back Rhamondre Stevenson sustained a knee tendon issue to the back of the knee during a 6-yard reception late in the third quarter against the Green Bay Packers. The injury is not expected to need surgery but could keep him out for the next few weeks.
Team Context
The 5-4 Patriots will travel to Munich late Wednesday for a game against the Detroit Lions. Stevenson has handled 65 percent of offensive snaps this season with 399 yards on 102 carries at a 3.9 average along with two touchdowns. He also has 26 receptions for 258 yards and two scores.
Backup Options
With second-string back TreVeyon Henderson already out for the past two games due to illness, the team could rely on Corey Kiner and Lan Larison on Sunday. Kiner, acquired on Aug. 29, has played 13 percent of snaps and gained 244 yards on 50 carries at a 4.9 average. Terrell Jennings remains on the practice squad.
