"The Patriots may be without their starting running back when they take on the Falcons. Rhamondre Stevenson didn't participate in the team's first two practices this week and wasn't seen during the media availability portion of Friday's practice, leaving his status in question for Sunday. Although he has had fumbling issues (three this season), Stevenson leads the team with 279 rushing yards to go along with three touchdowns."
"If Stevenson's injury persists and he is ruled out for Sunday, Henderson will likely get the opportunity to lead the backfield. Thus far Henderson hasn't got as many touches as many expected after his exciting preseason, so this could be a chance for him to prove himself. Along with Henderson, New England added second-year Terrell Jennings to its roster, and signed veteran back D'Ernest Johnson to the practice squad."
Rhamondre Stevenson missed the first two practices this week and was absent from Friday's media availability, putting his availability for Sunday in doubt. Stevenson leads the team with 279 rushing yards and three touchdowns but has committed three fumbles this season. New England's rushing offense ranks 18th in yards per game and 25th in yards per attempt through eight weeks. If Stevenson is unavailable, rookie Treveyon Henderson would likely assume a larger role after limited touches so far. The Patriots added second-year back Terrell Jennings to the 53-man roster and signed veteran D'Ernest Johnson to the practice squad.
