Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson's fumblitis has him in danger of benching

The New England Patriots may have a new starting running back after a poor start to the NFL season for Rhamondre Stevenson.

Through the first four games of the year, Stevenson has fumbled four times, which is the second-highest mark in the NFL and the most of any running back in the league. In fact, no other tailback has fumbled more than twice this season.

For that reason, Stevenson is in danger of losing his starting spot, according to Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo.

“Jerod Mayo says it is ‘definitely under consideration' that RB Antonio Gibson starts over Rhamondre Stevenson on Sunday after Stevenson has fumbled in each of the first four games,” Patriots reporter Mike Reiss wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
