Rhamondre Stevenson, the standout running back for the New England Patriots, has voiced his frustration after being excluded from the first practice session ahead of the Patriots’ Week 10 matchup

against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The decision to leave Stevenson out of practice came as a surprise to many, especially considering his pivotal role in the team’s offense throughout the season.

“I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty frustrated with how things went down,” Stevenson said in an interview after the practice session. “I’ve been giving everything I’ve got for this team, and to be left out like that, especially this early in the week, is tough to process. I’m ready to play and contribute however I can, and I don’t think being sidelined like this is the right approach.”

The news came as a shock to many fans and analysts, given Stevenson’s importance in the Patriots’ running game and his ability to break tackles and generate explosive plays. The exclusion raised questions about his health and whether there was a reason behind his absence from the practice field. Despite speculation, there was no immediate clarification from the team regarding whether Stevenson was dealing with an injury or if this was a coaching decision.

“I’m always going to show up ready to play,” Stevenson continued. “I don’t know what the reasoning was behind the decision, but all I can do is keep working and push through it. I’m a competitor, and I’ll fight to get back on the field and do what I do best.”

Head coach Bill Belichick has yet to comment publicly on the decision to exclude Stevenson from the initial practice, but many are speculating that it could be part of the team’s plan to keep Stevenson fresh for the remainder of the season. However, the running back’s outspoken reaction has sparked additional attention, especially given his pivotal role in the Patriots’ offensive success.

“I’m just focused on making sure I’m ready for Sunday,” Stevenson said. “I want to be out there helping my teammates, and if that means making sure I’m healthy and at my best, I’ll do whatever it takes to get there.”

As the Patriots prepare for their Week 10 game against the Buccaneers, all eyes will be on Stevenson’s status and how this situation unfolds. Despite the frustration, Stevenson’s competitive spirit remains as strong as ever, and fans are hopeful that he will be ready to contribute in a big way when the game kicks off.
