Latest Rhamondre Stevenson injury update
NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Stevenson is expected to play against Las Vegas, according to Sports Illustrated’s game-day injury update.
Stevenson was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. New England subsequently listed him as questionable for Week 5 with a knee injury, as shown in the official injury report.
The Patriots’ Friday update also noted that Stevenson told reporters he planned to play after an injury scare late in the previous week’s game against Buffalo. Patriots injury report analysis.
Is Stevenson confirmed active against the Raiders?
Not yet. The latest reporting points toward Stevenson playing, but “expected to play” does not mean he has been officially confirmed active.
At the time of this update, the Patriots’ final inactive list was not available on the NFL’s Week 5 game-day tracker.
What does Stevenson’s injury mean for fantasy football?
Fantasy managers have reason for optimism following Sunday’s report, but should verify Stevenson’s active status before locking in their lineups. His expected availability also does not guarantee a full workload.
The Patriots identified TreVeyon Henderson and Cory Kiner as options to handle more work if Stevenson cannot manage his usual role. That makes his workload an additional consideration even if he suits up. Patriots injury report analysis.
