Rhamondre Stevenson Lined up to hand off start to Gibson

Stevenson will not start at running back for the Patriots in Saturday’s game against the Chargers, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.

In the wake of his recent fumble issues, Stevenson is slated to give way to fellow RB Antonio Gibson for Saturday’s start. That said, we’d still expect Stevenson to see his share of work against the Chargers, but his ball security issues could lead to Gibson logging a higher percentage of New England’s backfield snaps than usual in Week 17.
