FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tests showed that Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson suffered a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss "a few weeks," a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Stevenson sustained a right ankle sprain in the first quarter of Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers that sidelined him for the rest of the game.

The Patriots (2-10) visit the Steelers (7-5) on Thursday and veteran Ezekiel Elliott is expected to take over Stevenson's lead role.

"It's tough to see guys go down," Elliott said Monday.
