Source: Pats RB Stevenson expected to miss time with knee tendon issue
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots top running back Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon issue that is not expected to require surgery but could sideline him for a short period of time, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The injury is to the back of Stevenson's knee and is expected to keep him out the next few weeks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Stevenson sustained the injury late in the third quarter of the Patriots' blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, when he was twisted down on a 6-yard reception. The Patriots trailed 42-14 at the time.
