FOXBORO — Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson had to be helped off of the field with a right leg injury late in the first quarter of the team’s Week 13 matchup with the Chargers.

Stevenson is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Stevenson suffered the injury while fumbling on a hip-drop tackle by Chargers rookie outside linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu. Stevenson stayed down on the turf before being helped off of the field by trainers. He couldn’t put weight on his right leg as he was helped straight to the locker room.

The Patriots have veteran running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Ty Montgomery on their gameday roster. JaMycal Hasty was on the inactive list Sunday morning.

The Patriots could also likely use rookie quarterback/wide receiver Malik Cunningham at running back in a pinch.
