ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) could miss a “short period of time.”

10 November 2026

Reporting Monday, Schefter relayed that Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon issue that could “sideline him for a short period of time.” While the report is about as vague as possible, fantasy managers will want to begin exploring alternatives for a running back that has outperformed his preseason draft capital through the first half of the season. TreVeyon Henderson remains sidelined indefinitely with what is being called an illness, which could leave Corey Kiner atop the depth chart in the backfield in the immediate future. The Patriots next play the Lions in Week 10, where Kiner would be a viable FLEX play, should Stevenson and Henderson miss. Schefter adds that the tendon issue is not expected to require surgery.
