Stevenson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Though Stevenson's foot issue isn't considered to be a long-term concern, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, he'll miss at least one game after not practicing this week. In Stevenson's absence versus Houston, Antonio Gibson figures to handle the bulk of the Patriots' Week 6 carries, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve and practice-squad members Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris being potential candidates for elevation.

Stevenson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Though Stevenson's foot issue isn't considered to be a long-term concern, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, he'll miss at least one game after not practicing this week. In Stevenson's absence versus Houston, Antonio Gibson figures to handle the bulk of the Patriots' Week 6 carries, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve and practice-squad members Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris being potential candidates for elevation.
Stevenson (foot) wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his continued absence is concerning ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Per Reiss, coach Jerod Mayo noted that Stevenson's foot injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern, but if the running back is out this weekend, Antonio Gibson would be in line for the Week 6 start, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve and practice squad members Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris candidates for elevation.
Stevenson (foot) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday, which sets the stage for Friday's session to loom large in terms of the running back's availability for Sunday's game against the Texans. If he ends up limited or out this weekend, Antonio Gibson would be in line for added Week 6 snaps, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve.
Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday due to a listed foot issue, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Stevenson briefly left this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins due to a calf injury, which he downplayed afterward. Evidently he's past that issue, but the running back is now tending to a foot concern ahead of this weekend's game against the Texans. Stevenson now has two more chances to practice ahead of the contest, but unless he upgrades to full participation by Friday, he'll approach Week 6 action with an injury designation.
Stevenson isn't participating in practice Wednesday due to a calf injury, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald report. Per Callahan, Stevenson left this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins for a few plays due to the calf injury, but the running back downplayed the issue afterward. Stevenson's status will be revisited again Thursday, but even with an absence to begin Week 6 prep, the Patriots haven't indicated that his availability for this weekend's game against the Texans is in danger.
Stevenson rushed 12 times for 89 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for three yards in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Stevenson didn't open the game as a starter due to his early-season fumbling issues, but he was ultimately able to put together his most impressive showing since his 120-yard, one-touchdown effort in Week 1. Stevenson rattled off a game-long 33-yard run for a touchdown late in the first quarter for the Patriots' first points, and he averaged just over 5.0 yards per carry on his other 11 totes. The third-year back did get briefly shaken up in the fourth quarter per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, but Stevenson reentered the game for a play and said after the contest he does not expect to miss any time. Stevenson and the Patriots next welcome in the Texans for a Week 6 matchup.
Stevenson will not start at running back in the Patriots' Week 5 matchup with the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. This comes straight from head coach Jarrod Mayo, who had a conversation about his decision with Stevenson on Friday. However, the 26-year-old is still expected to provide depth in New England's backfield. The running back has lost a fumble in each of the Patriots' first four games, which ultimately led to this decision. As a result, Antonio Gibson figures to get the starting nod in at least Week 5. Gibson has seen just 29 carries to Stevenson's 65 through four games.
Coach Jerod Mayo noted ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins that having Antonio Gibson start over Stevenson is "under consideration" due to Stevenson's fumbling issues, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Through the Patriots' first four games this season, Stevenson has logged 65 carries to Gibson's 29, but in that span Stevenson has fumbled four times. With that in mind, it's possible that Stevenson's recent ball-security issues could impact his workload to a degree in Week 5, though even in such a scenario we would still expect him to remain part of the game plan versus Miami .
Stevenson rushed 13 times for 43 yards while catching four of five targets for 19 receiving yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers. Stevenson got back up to double-digit carries after struggling off of six rushes in a Week 3 loss to the Jets. The veteran starter didn't produce big results with his 18 combined touches Sunday, also losing his second fumble in as many weeks. The fourth-year back rattled off two strong fantasy lines prior to his recent pair of duds, so fantasy managers shouldn't give up on Stevenson so long as he remains the primary option in New England. He will attempt to regain his early-season form in an important AFC East tilt against the Dolphins next Sunday.
