Stevenson's Knee: Game-Time Decision vs. Lions
15 Nov
Summary
- Rhamondre Stevenson's knee injury makes him questionable for Week 10.
- Stevenson is pushing to play despite initial diagnosis, impacting Patriots' options.
- Corey Kiner is a strong prop bet to score against the Lions in Week 10.
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is uncertain to play in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions in Munich due to a knee injury. He suffered the injury in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. Initially, the diagnosis indicated Stevenson might miss several weeks, making the upcoming Week 11 bye a logical time for him to rest.
However, Stevenson has expressed a desire to play, leading to his questionable designation. His potential absence is significant as fellow running back TreVeyon Henderson is already ruled out. Stevenson has been a key offensive player, with 399 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus 258 receiving yards and two touchdowns this season.
With Stevenson's availability uncertain, backup Corey Kiner is positioned for increased opportunities. Kiner has averaged 4.9 yards per carry this season and had a strong performance last week with 55 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. The Lions' defense ranks 19th in the league in rushing efficiency, allowing an average of 4.1 yards per carry and six rushing touchdowns.
Kiner is considered a favorable prop bet for scoring against the Lions, especially given the potential for a larger workload. If Stevenson plays, he may still be limited, further opening the door for Kiner to share carries.
