Rhamondre Stevenson Leaves Tuesday's Practice Early

Tuesday, July 28, 1:16 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) left the practice field as players prepared for final sprints on Tuesday at training camp, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Stevenson was a full participant in practice, but he left for undisclosed reasons and didn't speak with the media afterward. It's unclear why Stevenson left practice early, but we will be keeping a close eye on the situation. If it is an injury, the good news is that it's early in training camp, so Stevenson could still be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season if it's not a serious injury. If this is something that sidelines Stevenson for an extended period of time, it will cause second-year back TreVeyon Henderson's ADP this summer to rise dramatically, with Lan Larison also seeing more opportunities in New England's backfield as the backup. Most likely, the Patriots are being extra cautious with whatever Stevenson is dealing with early in camp.

Saints Agree With Ty Chandler on Tuesday

Tuesday, March 17, 12:29 PM

The New Orleans Saints announced on Tuesday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back Ty Chandler, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Saints added Travis Etienne Jr. to their backfield in free agency and could move on from veteran Alvin Kamara as a result. In the Big Easy, the 27-year-old Chandler will most likely be competing for backup duties with Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, and Audric Estime going into the 2026 season. The former fifth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 out of North Carolina was limited to only three games in 2025 due to injury, carrying the ball 17 times for 47 yards and catching three passes for 11 yards. Chandler's best season came in Year 2 in 2023, when he had 102 rushing attempts for 461 yards and three touchdowns, adding 21 receptions for another 159 yards in 17 games (four starts). With a likely limited role on offense with the Saints, Chandler is, at best, a dynasty/keeper stash for RB depth.
