New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to play in Sunday’s season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles despite missing practice on Friday, multiple media outlets reported.

Stevenson reportedly is dealing with a stomach bug.

Cornerback Jack Jones and backup quarterback Matt Corral also were missing from Friday’s practice.

The Patriots will reveal their practice/injury report later on Friday.

Stevenson, 25, led New England in carries (210), rushing yards (1,040) and rushing touchdowns (five) in 17 games last season.

Offseason acquisition Ezekiel Elliott would be in line for additional work should Stevenson be limited. Elliott, a two-time rushing champion, rushed for a career-low 876 yards and 3.8 yards per carry in 2022 in 15 games (14 starts) with the Dallas Cowboys.

Jones sustained a hamstring injury on Wednesday and missed Thursday’s practice.

Corral, who missed his first practice of the week, is the only other quarterback on the roster outside of starter Mac Jones. Quarterbacks Bailey Zappe and undrafted Malik Cunningham are on the practice squad.
