Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will miss several weeks with a knee problem.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports that Stevenson has a plantar tendon problem at the back of his knee that will not require surgery, but will require rest and rehab.
Stevenson was hurt in Sunday’s 45-27 loss to the Packers. He had six carries for 32 yards and three catches for 46 yards and a touchdown.
The Patriots were already down to their top two wide receivers, AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs, top two guards Michael Onwenu and Alijah Vera-Tucker, and top three backup TreVeyon Henderson.
Corey Kiner and Lan Larison are the only healthy backs on the 53-man roster, but Terrell Jennings was signed to the practice squad last week.
