Stevenson (concussion) is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Fellow running back Damien Harris (concussion) has been ruled out for the contest, which sets the stage for the Patriots' Week 10 backfield to include Stevenson, Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor. Official confirmation of Stevenson's status will arrive upon the release of inactives prior to Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but assuming no setbacks, Stevenson would presumably be in line to handle a good portion of the team's early-down work, with Bolden and Taylor in the mix for complementary/change-of-pace touches.

Though fellow running back Damien Harris (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Stevenson (concussion/questionable) was not, which suggests that he could suit up for the contest, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

Both players suffered concussions in the fourth quarter of last weekend's win over the Panthers and were unable to practice this past week. However, with Harris officially ruled out, it appears as though Stevenson is further along in his recovery, with both Reiss and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noting that the second-year back could be cleared for action Sunday morning. Either way, Stevenson's availability will be clarified prior to the first wave of kickoffs Sunday, with the Patriots facing the Browns at 1:00 ET. If he's out or limited, Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor would be in line for added Week 10 snaps.

Robinson (heel) is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

While the report suggests that playing isn't likely to make things worse in terms of the running back's bruised heel, Robinson is line to work out before Sunday's 1:00 ET contest before a determination is made on his Week 10 status. If Robinson is out or limited, Carlos Hyde would continue to see an increased role, with Dare Ogunbowale and Devine Ozigbo on hand in reserve.

Singletary's teammate Zack Moss cleared the concussion protocols Saturday and is expected to suit up Sunday against the Jets.

While the duo still gets a juicy matchup against the Jets' 27th-ranked run defense, Singletary hasn't been able to do much in any game where he shares the load with his young teammate. Singletary hasn't passed 100 rushing yards in any game since Moss was drafted last season, and he has just one scrimmage TD in 2021. What was looking like a great free-agent fantasy pickup early in the week has fallen back to a mediocre-at-best option, with the real hope being that the Bills take control of the game and allow both backs to run wild.

Hasty (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Hasty was unable to practice all week, and he'll be forced to miss Monday's primetime matchup as a result. He logged just seven carries for seven yards while hauling in eight of 12 targets for 55 yards across the last three games. Jeff Wilson and Trenton Cannon could see additional work against the Rams.

Edmonds (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Saturday's move was expected after Edmonds sustained a high-ankle sprain in last week's win over the 49ers. The 25-year-old won't be eligible to return until mid-December, while James Conner and Eno Benjamin should take on increased workloads in his absence.

Stevenson cleared the concussion protocol Saturday, Evan Lazar of CLNS Media Network reports.

Stevenson was unable to practice all week, but the Patriots are hopeful that he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Browns. If he's able to play, he'll likely see increased work since Damien Harris (concussion) will be unavailable.

Mitchell (ribs) does not carry an injury designation heading into Monday's divisional matchup with the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell managed to put together a full practice Saturday, which sets the rookie up to make his first appearance under the Monday night lights. JaMycal Hasty, who won't play Monday due to an ankle injury, was the only other running back besides Mitchell to see snaps over the last three weeks, but expect Jeff Wilson and Trenton Cannon to take some of that playing time, especially with the former finally set to play after a lengthy stay on injured reserve.

Harris (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The concussion Harris suffered in Week 9 against the Panthers will keep him out against Cleveland, leaving Brandon Bolden as the top option in a Patriots backfield that will likely utilize a committee approach also involving J.J. Taylor and possibly Rhamondre Stevenson, who is dealing with a concussion of his own. With a short turnaround before Thursday's Week 11 trip to Atlanta, Harris could be in danger of missing another game due to this injury.

Edmonds (ankle) will be placed on short-term injured reserve by the Cardinals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Edmonds has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, and he'll have to miss two additional contests once placed on IR. On the bright side, Pelissero notes that the Cardinals are optimistic Edmonds will be able to return immediately after the three-game absence, which equates to four weeks because the Cardinals have their bye in Week 12. In Edmonds' absence, James Conner should see the majority of snaps in Arizona's backfield, with Eno Benjamin on hand in a change-of-pace role.
