Next up behind Rhamondre Stevenson; depth chart RB2.
Rest of the stableCorey Kiner (RB3)ExpandCollapse
Corey KinerRB3early down1% rostered · free long shotListed RB3. Played eight offensive snaps in Week 1 when Henderson was out and was not among the backs discussed in the Week 3 game review, so his role shrank once Henderson returned. Depth insurance behind a two-man committee rather than a next-man-up option.
Injury history: No significant reported injury absences; minimal NFL regular-season sample and no 2026 injury designation reported.

TreVeyon Henderson is listed RB2 on the New England Patriots depth chart behind Rhamondre Stevenson. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Reggie Gilliam: Out (espn_rosters) Myles Montgomery: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Played through the high-ankle sprain instead of missing time: active Oct. 18 vs. the Jets for 8 touches (7-31 rushing, 1-9 receiving) and lost his first fumble of the year, after which he touched it twice more while Corey Kiner took 11 carries in the final 16:30. Now a three-man backfield with Stevenson still leading. Dynasty hold intact; weak redraft start on the short week vs. Chicago.
Starter injury history: 2024: foot injury cost Week 6. 2025: turf toe cost Weeks 9-11. 2026: leg/knee issue from his last Week 4 touch at Buffalo; limited in practice all week and listed questionable (knee) on the Friday, Oct. 9 report, where he said he planned to play. He then played Week 5 vs. Las Vegas, so no absence resulted and no return timetable is outstanding.

Roschon Johnson is listed RB3 on the Chicago Bears depth chart behind D'Andre Swift. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Brittain Brown: Out (espn_rosters) Kyle Monangai: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Short-yardage and goal-line specialist and a reliable pass protector, which is what keeps him rostered. His usage has shrunk to almost nothing - his last multi-carry game came in Week 18 of 2024 - and reporting is explicit that Chicago would hand a Swift absence to Monangai rather than lean on Johnson. Not a usable contingency play even if Swift sits.
Starter injury history: 2025: 16 starts, no injury absence. 2026: a knee issue made him a non-participant Oct. 1 before he practiced Friday and played Week 4. Week 5 prep: did not practice Wednesday with knee and hip issues, limited Thursday, then a full participant Friday, and the Bears assigned him no game designation at Green Bay on Oct. 9. He has missed no games, so no return timetable applies.
