BOSTON — New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury that has affected his plantaris tendon, according to ESPN.

Stevenson left Sunday’s loss to Green Bay in the second half and will be out this Sunday when the Patriots kick off against the Detroit Lions at 9:30 a.m. ET in Germany. The team will then head into its bye week, before returning to play a road game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 29.

It’s unclear if Stevenson will be available for that game at Los Angeles or will be out until the Patriots’ following game at home versus Buffalo on Dec. 6.

Stevenson has started every game this season and leads the Patriots with 399 rushing yards. He’s averaging 3.9 yards per carry, and ranks third on the team with 26 catches. He’s also caught two touchdowns.

Without Stevenson, the Patriots are down to running backs Corey Kiner, TreVeyon Henderson and Lan Larison on their active roster. Henderson’s status is unknown, due to an illness that he described last week as giving him “unexplained neurological symptoms.” Henderson, who has been open previously about his history with depression and sleep paralysis, missed the last two games and has not practiced in almost two weeks.

The Patriots could also opt to elevate Terrell Jennings off their practice squad. Jennings rejoined the team last week after spending most of the summer in the Patriots’ training camp before he was released with an injury settlement.

Of all the running backs, Kiner has the most rushing yards at 244. He’s averaging 4.9 yards per carry, highest on the team, and has also caught two passes for 16 yards. The Patriots traded for Kiner the day before the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline in late August, when they sent a 2028 seventh-round pick to Arizona for the second-year rusher.
