New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is officially listed as questionable, but he is expected to play in Sunday’s Week 5 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders after dealing with a knee injury that left his status for the game up in the air for much of the week.
Stevenson sustained the injury during the fourth quarter of New England’s 29-26 win over the Buffalo Bills last week. The injury ended his day and limited him in practice early this week. However, according to Patriots Wire’s Sophie Weller, Stevenson declared that he is “ready to go” for the game.
Through four games, Stevenson has recorded 44 carries for 163 yards and a touchdown, averaging 3.7 yards per attempt. He has added 12 receptions for 90 yards, giving him 253 yards from scrimmage. Against Buffalo, he ran the ball 13 times for 47 yards and a touchdown while catching three passes for 27 yards.
Stevenson will face a Raiders team that has allowed 538 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns this season, including 189 rushing yards to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. With Stevenson ready to play, New England could have its starting running back in the offensive backfield for the pivotal matchup against Las Vegas.
