New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson is hopeful that Rhamondre Stevenson returns for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Even if it means fewer carries for Henderson, he is more focused on winning football games, and there's no question that the Patriots are a better team when Stevenson is contributing. Stevenson has missed the last three games with a toe injury, and according to Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, he is expected to play in Week 12 against the Bengals.

Henderson has impressed while Stevenson was sidelined by recording 47 carries for 264 yards and four touchdowns, along with one receiving touchdown, through three games.
One has to wonder if the Patriots will continue to use Henderson more in the running back rotation after his electric performances in recent weeks. The good news for the Patriots overall is the fact that they have two legitimate starters at running back capable of making an impact in games.
