The New England Patriots have a banged-up group of receivers and running backs heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson was a new addition to the injury report with an illness. Damien Harris was limited for the second straight week with a hamstring injury.
For receivers, the Patriots didn’t have Nelson Agholor (concussion) or Kendrick Bourne (COVID-19/reserve). Receiver N’Keal Harry did not suffer a concussion despite leaving Saturday’s game with a head injury. He was instead limited with a hip injury.
The other limited players included: center David Andrews (shoulder), defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee), linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley (ribs/ankle), running back Brandon Bolden (knee), kicker Nick Folk (left knee), safety Adrian Phillips (knee) and receiver Matthew Slater (illness).
