No. 1 in the 30-second version

Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is reportedly expected to miss a few weeks with a knee injury.

Stevenson hurt the back of his knee late in Sunday's 45-27 loss to Green Bay, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported it is a plantaris tendon issue that will not require surgery. He has been one of New England's most dependable backs, with 399 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 102 carries. With TreVeyon Henderson also sidelined indefinitely, Corey Kiner, who has 244 rushing yards this season, is set to take on the lead role.

No. 2 in the 30-second version

Packers running back Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery on a fractured ring finger and could go on injured reserve.

Jacobs was hurt when his hand got caught on a facemask in the Patriots game. CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported he could miss up to three weeks, which would include the bye, while Netflix's Tom Pelissero reported he could go to injured reserve, which would cost him four games. Per Pelissero, coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the surgery and said Jacobs is out indefinitely. MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong Jr. and Kaleb Johnson are on the active roster, and Chris Brooks has an open practice window.
