The Patriots are already dealing with having to replace a player at a key role.
Running back Ty Montgomery was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury on Tuesday, leaving New England without a clear passing down running back. However, it appears the Patriots have someone who is more than willing to step up in Montgomery’s absence.
Second-year back Rhamondre Stevenson told Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed that he’s “very confident” he can be the Patriots’ third-down running back with Montgomery out for at least the next four games.
“If they call my number, I’ll be ready,” Stevenson said.
