Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson Listed as Questionable With Knee Injury

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions in Munich after suffering a knee injury during the team's loss to the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 9.

Stevenson did not return to that game and initial reports indicated he could miss multiple games. However, he traveled with the Patriots to Germany and worked his way back onto the practice field.

According to the Patriots' official injury report, Stevenson missed Wednesday's practice before participating on a limited basis Thursday and Friday.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Saturday that Stevenson is pushing to play in Week 10. Fowler said Stevenson has been working through the injury during practice with limited participation and has been getting extra work whenever possible, including working off to the side during team sessions.

"It looked like he was going to have to miss time, but he has told teammates that he's pushing to try to play," Fowler reported.

Fowler added that he would not be surprised if New England ultimately holds Stevenson out, but the running back has a legitimate chance to suit up against Detroit.

The Patriots made several roster moves Saturday, Nov. 14, ahead of the matchup. New England chose not to elevate running back Terrell Jennings from its practice squad, a move ESPN's Mike Reiss said seems to indicate Stevenson could be active.

"With RB Terrell Jennings not elevated from the practice squad, it seems to indicate RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) could be active," Reiss wrote.

Reiss added that New England would otherwise have just two available running backs: Corey Kiner and Lan Larison.

The Patriots announced Saturday that running back TreVeyon Henderson had been placed on injured reserve because of an illness. The move will sideline Henderson for at least four games.

New England also activated fullback Reggie Gilliam and offensive lineman Greg Van Roten from injured reserve while elevating guard Andrew Rupcich from the practice squad.

Head coach Mike Vrabel praised the running back's determination to return despite the injury.

"We're always looking for guys that are looking for ways in as opposed to ways out," Vrabel said, according to The Boston Globe.
