By Peter Dewey
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has been dealing with an ankle issue that had him miss Tuesday's practice, but he returned on a limited basis on Wednesday.
It appears that Stevenson is on the right path to play in Week 7 against the Buffalo Bills.

The Patriots running back is coming off one of his better games this season, rushing for 46 yards and a score on 10 carries. He also made five receptions. Here’s the latest on his ankle issue for Week 7:

Rhamondre Stevenson anytime touchdown scorer
Stevenson only has two scores on the season, but he has a favorable matchup with one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in Buffalo.
The Bills are 31st in the league in yards per carry allowed (5.4), so Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott should be used heavily in this game.
Stevenson’s score last week was a goal-line plunge, so it’s nice to see he isn’t going to get completely vultured by Elliott on those opportunities. I don’t mind taking him at +185 to get to the end zone in Week 7.
