Patriots Injury Report: Meyers, Stevenson questionable vs. Raiders
BOSTON -- The Patriots offense may be getting some reinforcements for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and running back Rhamondre Stevenson both practiced on Friday and are listed as questionable for Sunday's must-win tilt.
Meyers missed the last two games after he suffered a concussion in New England's loss to the Bills back on Dec. 1. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough before sitting out Thursday's practice.
Despite playing in just 10 games this season, Meyers leads the Patriots with 593 receiving yards off his 50 receptions.
Stevenson is even more important to the New England offense, leading the team in both rushing yards (742) and receptions (58). The running back suffered an ankle injury in Monday night's win over the Cardinals, and Friday was his first time back on the field since his second-half departure.
Rookie cornerback Jack Jones was also back in the practice mix Friday after he sat out Wednesday and Thursday because of the ankle injury that he suffered Monday night. He is among the six players listed as questionable on New England's Friday injury report:
T Yodny Cajuste, Calf/Back
LS Joe Cardona, Ankle
RB Damien Harris, Thigh
CB Jack Jones, Knee
WR Jakobi Meyers, Concussion
RB Rhamondre Stevenson, Ankle
Meyers and Stevenson participating Friday at least opens the door for Mac Jones to have his two favorite targets on Sunday. However, receiver DeVante Parker, who left Monday's game with a concussion and did not practiced all week, has been ruled out for Sunday's game.
In addition to Parker, offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn (foot) and corner Jalen Mills (groin) were also ruled out against the Raiders.
After practicing at the University of Arizona in Tucson all week, the Patriots will leave for Las Vegas on Saturday.
