Rhamondre Stevenson Injury Update
Rhamondre Stevenson is officially out for Thursday's prime-time tilt against the Jets, marking his third consecutive absence due to a nagging toe injury that's turned the 27-year-old's breakout season into a frustrating halt. The versatile back tweaked the digit in practice leading into Week 10, forcing him to sit out the loss to the Bears and the divisional drubbing by the Bills. On X, @AdamSchefter reported that the Patriots have ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson and WR Kayshon Boutte for Thursday night’s game against the Jets.
On X, @DrJesseMorse shared that Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a toe injury.
Now, with New England's backfield already thin, rookie TreVeyon Henderson steps up as the lead dog, backed by Antonio Gibson and a rotating cast. Expect heavy reps for the Ohio State product, who flashed 85 yards on 18 carries last outing.
When will Stevenson return? No crystal ball here, but the vibes are cautiously upbeat. He logged limited practice sessions earlier this week, a step up from the full DNPs that doomed his Week 10 status. Head coach Jerod Mayo hinted at optimism post-practice: "Rhamondre's moving well—day-to-day, but trending right." The smart money's on Week 12's home date with the Rams on November 24, assuming no setbacks in the coming days.
A clean bill could see him reclaiming 15-20 touches, blending his bruising runs with reliable receiving chops (he's snagged 28 catches for 220 yards through nine games). But toe issues are sneaky; lingering inflammation could push it to Week 13, echoing the soft-tissue gremlins that plagued him early in his career.
Speaking of reliability, Stevenson's ball security has been a mixed bag this year amid the hurt. He's coughed up the rock three times in 2025 (all lost, ouch), bumping his career total to 17 fumbles over 64 games since his 2021 debut out of Oklahoma State. That's a red flag for fantasy managers and a point of emphasis in Foxboro, where the Pats' turnover differential sits at a dismal minus-12. Still, his vision and power (4.4 yards per carry lifetime) make him indispensable once he's back, expect targeted drills to tighten that grip.
