The New England Patriots are surging as one of the feel-good stories of the 2025 NFL season. However, they recently faced a scare involving running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who is now dealing with a toe injury. ESPN league insider Adam Schefter provided an update on Stevenson’s status on Wednesday, tweeting, “Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson didn’t practice today due to a toe injury.”
This setback comes as the Patriots hold sole possession of first place in the AFC East with a 6-2 record and are riding a five-game winning streak. New England’s impressive play is winning over fans and foes alike, including Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman II, who called them a legitimate contender.
### Patriots Making Moves Amid Winning Streak
Head coach Mike Vrabel is working to breathe new life into the “Patriot Way,” which includes making last-minute roster adjustments ahead of the NFL trade deadline. On Tuesday, safety Kyle Dugger was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for two late-round draft picks—a sixth and a seventh-rounder.
Dugger isn’t the only notable departure for the Patriots. Pass rusher Keion White was also traded, landing with the San Francisco 49ers. White reunites with former Patriot Kendrick Bourne while helping to fill the gap left by the injured Nick Bosa.
Despite these changes, the Patriots are also focused on retaining key contributors. Defensive back and special teams ace Marcus Jones agreed to a three-year contract extension on Tuesday, providing a boost to New England’s defense and special teams units.
### Stevenson’s Status Uncertain for Sunday
Rhamondre Stevenson’s availability for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons remains uncertain due to his toe injury. Coach Vrabel recently criticized Stevenson for premature celebrations during the team’s recent victory over the Tennessee Titans.
In Sunday’s 32-13 win over the Cleveland Browns, Stevenson managed 34 yards on 14 carries. This season, the running back has carried the ball 83 times for 279 yards and has scored three touchdowns across eight games.
As the Patriots continue their push for the playoffs, all eyes will be on Stevenson’s health and the team’s ability to maintain momentum.
