Patriots running back Antonio Gibson will not be able to return this season.

According to multiple reports, tests have confirmed that Gibson suffered a torn ACL during Sunday night’s victory over the Bills.

Gibson saw limited work but was considered a solid pass protector, which gave him more snaps in those situations. He was also a kick returner and that's where he suffered his injury. Stevenson had another fumble in the win over the Bills but still led the team in carries with seven carries. Gibson and Henderson each had six carries so Gibson's work will at least need to be split up.

Running back Rhamondre Stevenson had two of those fumbles, including one at the Steelers’ goal-line, and he has now coughed the ball up nine times since the start of the 2024 season. Head coach Mike Vrabel said that the Patriots need Stevenson to clean up that aspect of his game.

The story went on to say Stevenson’s goal-line fumble in the third quarter was the last time he touched the ball on Sunday and next Sunday’s backfield workload will be telling about how the Patriots plan to handle things for the rest of the year. Henderson led the team in carries with 11, but produced only 28 yards. Henderson's struggles in pass protection can be seen all over social media, which has led to Gibson being move involved. Gibson had seven carries. Both Stevenson and Henderson each caught three passes.

There's a lot of excitement within Patriots' circles about rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson. Everyone knew about his home-run speed and explosiveness, but multiple team sources have also emphasized his elite pass-catching and pass-protection abilities.

Schultz went on to say words like "special" and "difference-maker" have been used to describe Henderson and added that it feels like New England has a super dynamic young back for Drake Maye to lean on. Right now, Henderson is a late fifth to early sixth round pick in drafts, but we think he could quickly leapfrog Stevenson and push for lead-back duties. For now, Henderson profiles as a high-end, upside RB3 with the potential to be a weekly RB2 if he grabs the top spot in what should be an improving offense.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) - who foreshadows that he thinks he can play on Sunday - was a full participant in practice today and is listed as questionable.

Stevenson finds himself back in a fantastic option and should be considered a fantasy RB2 once again.

If Stevenson misses Week 6 (which seems likely), Gibson jumps up into a very interesting role, possibly as a consistent check-down option in Drake Maye's first start. It won't feel great, but he can be considered a borderline RB2 in that scenario.

Patriots RB Antonio Gibson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. Cincinnati, while TE Hunter Henry has been removed from the report and is good to go.

Outside of two rookies (Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker), New England doesn't have much firepower, which could equate to Henry leading the team in targets in a handful of weeks. In what may have been a high-scoring affair, the Bengals might be missing both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, which dampens most Patriots options.

Consider Henry a deep target in 2TE leagues.

RB Antonio Gibson relays that his hip responded well in Friday’s practice, and he is optimistic he’ll be ready to go for Sunday’s opening game barring an unexpected turn.

Gibson doesn't have a ton of standalone value in an offense we're not excited about, but if he were to miss, it would boost Stevenson's usage, particularly in the receiving game.

Consider Stevenson an RB3 as he heads into Cincinnati.

The New England Patriots and Rhamondre Stevenson reached an agreement on a four-year extension worth $36 million, with $17 million guaranteed. Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Stevenson said during mandatory minicamp that sides were “pretty close” on a contract. Ten days later, the pact came to fruition. The extension keeps the Pats' top back under contract through 2028.

Stevenson burst out in 2022, generating 1,040 rushing yards and 421 receiving yards. The 1,461 scrimmage yards is notable, given the incentives in his new deal. The Pats are betting their leading rusher gets back on track after an injury-riddled 2023 relegated him to 12 games and 857 scrimmage yards. Consider him a nice RB2 in fantasy for 2024.

Former Commanders' running back Antonio Gibson is expected to join the Patriots.

The Patriots backfield looks like it's going to be an absolute nightmare for fantasy purposes, as part of one of the worst offenses in the league. Gibson shouldn't be more than a late-round dart.

This should leave Brian Robinson as the bellcow in Washington.

The Commanders placed RB Chris Rodriguez Jr (ankle) on IR. Ends his season early.

After a key injury to Brian Robinson, we got to see a little bit more of the rookie, including a two-touchdown in Week 16, which was nice for dynasty owners who took a stab in rookie drafts. There's a chance that Antonio Gibson gets a huge workload ahead of a touch matchup against the 49ers in Week 17.
