Patriots Sit Key Starters for Wednesday Practice Before Raiders Game

That uncertainty forces immediate depth-chart changes and could alter Drake Maye’s game plan.

Overview

  • Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed on Wednesday that Rhamondre Stevenson, Christian Gonzalez and Mack Hollins did not practice for the game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
  • Vrabel said Stevenson did not practice but still has a chance to play on Sunday while Gonzalez is unlikely to practice and may miss a second straight game.
  • TreVeyon Henderson would move up to the No. 1 running back role if Stevenson is ruled out and Corey Kiner is the only other running back currently on the active roster.
  • Defensive tackle Christian Barmore was expected to do some limited work in Wednesday practice and the team has conducted veteran workouts and could add outside help if injuries persist.
  • A.J. Brown remains ineligible this week but could return next week, a timing note that shapes short-term roster choices and how New England plans to protect and support quarterback Drake Maye on offense.
