London Calling: Patriots' Running Game Takes a Hit with Gibson Injury
Ugh, another injury in the NFL. This time, it's Rhamondre Stevenson who's got the Patriots running back room sweating bullets. The guy's been a workhorse for New England this year, but he took a nasty hit in London against the New York Jets and left the game. It was a scary sight, and it got everyone wondering, "Is Stevenson okay?"
The official word? Concussion. The Patriots were already a bit banged up in the backfield, with Ty Montgomery being placed on IR just last week. This injury definitely throws a wrench in their plans, especially since the next game's against the Buffalo Bills - a division rival!
Who Steps Up Now?
So, what happens now? Well, the Patriots will have to rely on Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris to carry the load. These guys haven't seen a ton of action this year, so they're going to need to step up big time. It's a tough situation, but the Patriots are known for finding ways to get it done.
What's Next?
The Patriots are going to need to hope Stevenson can make a quick recovery. The Bills are a tough opponent, and New England needs all the firepower they can get. This injury could have a big impact on their season, so they'll need to find a way to keep up with the Bills' high-powered offense. Hopefully, this isn't a long-term issue for Stevenson, and he can get back on the field soon. Keep your fingers crossed, Patriots fans!
