Rhamondre Stevenson looks ready to return to the field against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
In his final press conference before Sunday's game, Vrabel sounded pleased with the running back's participation this week.
"I would say that there wasn't many restrictions, and that he responded well to the practice. I would say that as long as there not any setbacks here, he'd be in line to play," he said.
Stevenson, the typical starting running back for New England, suffered a toe injury after Week 8 against the Browns and has missed three subsequent games. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has tallied five touchdowns in the last two games in his absence, and posted 147 rushing yards in Tampa Bay.
