New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

He is currently dealing with a knee injury that he suffered in last week's loss to the Green Bay Packers. The injury didn't require surgery, but it was still viewed as an injury that could potentially force him to miss some time.

However, the veteran running back made the trip with the team to Germany, and he has been a limited participant in the last two practices ahead of the Week 10 game. Stevenson has played a huge role for the Patriots on offense. He has 657 total scrimmage yards and four touchdowns in nine games this season. He is also the team's best pass-protecting back.

If he were to miss Sunday’s game, Corey Kiner

is expected to take over as the No. 1 running back. He has 15 rushes for 244 yards and one touchdown this season. The Patriots don't have a one-to-one replacement for Stevenson, but Kiner has shown promise in recent weeks.

Lan Larison would project as the No. 2 running back in that scenario, with TreVeyon Henderson still sidelined with a medical condition.
