FOXBOROUGH — Rhamondre Stevenson was sidelined for a spell with an eye injury.
The running back suffered the injury in the first half of Sunday’s divisional round matchup against the Houston Texans . Stevenson was running well early, picking up 25 yards on his first three carries. He returned to the game in the third quarter.

Behind Stevenson, the Patriots had TreVeyon Henderson and D’Ernest Johnson, who was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday afternoon.
Stevenson had really hit his stride down the stretch, scoring six touchdowns in New England ’s final three regular season games.
“It’s been awesome to watch,” quarterback Drake Maye said this week. “I think the biggest thing is he hasn’t wavered, and we haven’t shied away from trusting in him. I think that’s the biggest thing coaching-wise and teammate-wise. We knew what type of player he was, what type of player he can be in this league.
“As you’ve seen it, it’s been such a great deal to watch him kind of bounce back and have some early season woes, and that’s just part of life. He hasn’t blinked. He’s had some things off the field and on the field, and he’s just kept his head down and has become a great player for us. He’s been fun to watch.”
