Rhamondre Stevenson to miss multiple weeks as Patriots lose another running back

Stevenson, 28, is dealing with a knee tendon issue. He'll be sidelined for a short period of time and is not expected to undergo surgery.

Stevenson had 36 yards on six carries, along with 46 receiving yards and a touchdown on four receptions, during the team's recent loss to the Green Bay Packers. 

The veteran has 399 rushing yards and 258 receiving yards, with two touchdowns each way, through nine games this season. 

He hasn't rushed for more than 100 yards in a game since January 4th against the Miami Dolphins, when he put up 131 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, and 22 yards and a touchdown through the air.

New England also lost running back TreVeyon Henderson to a "mysterious illness" that hasn't been disclosed.

Henderson posted a statement on social media stating: "I experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days."

New England will now look to their young pair of running backs, Corey Kiner and Lan Larison, both of whom were undrafted free agents. 

There are currently no reports of the Patriots looking to possibly trade for a running back as the deadline (Nov. 10th) approaches, but a move could be on the way. 

The Pats are 5-4, second in the AFC East division, and rank 10th in rushing offense as they average 119.9 yards per game on the ground. 

Their next matchup is against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, November 15th, in Munich, Germany.
