Next up behind Rhamondre Stevenson (Questionable); depth chart RB3.
Rest of the stableLan Larison (RB4)ExpandCollapse
Lan LarisonRB40% rostered · free long shotPromoted, not promoted into a role: New England signed him from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Saturday Oct. 31 rather than using a standard elevation, with TreVeyon Henderson ruled out for Week 8 at Miami. Reporting slots him RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner, with kick returns the likeliest path to touches. An undrafted UC Davis back; watch-list only.
Injury history: He spent his 2025 rookie season on injured reserve after a foot injury in a preseason game, so he has one full lost season on record. No 2026 injury designation or absence has been reported and he was healthy enough to be signed to the 53-man roster on Oct. 31. The 2025 placement is the only verified absence; thin recent data does not establish durability.

Corey Kiner is listed RB3 on the New England Patriots depth chart behind Rhamondre Stevenson (Questionable). Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Rhamondre Stevenson: Questionable (espn_rosters) TreVeyon Henderson: Out (espn_rosters) Reggie Gilliam: Out (espn_rosters) Myles Montgomery: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Available and in line for a bigger share again: with TreVeyon Henderson a DNP on both days of the Nov. 5 Week 9 report, Kiner is the No. 2 behind Rhamondre Stevenson against Green Bay. That is a contingent role, not a confirmed workload - no current-season snap or touch split was verified this cycle, so treat him as injury-contingency depth rather than a start.
Starter injury history: 2024: a foot injury cost Week 6. 2025: turf toe cost Weeks 9-11. 2026: a Week 4 knee issue left him Questionable on Oct. 9 but cost no game. New: a knee injury late in the third quarter of Week 9 vs. Green Bay - he walked off under his own power and was ruled out for the rest of the game (Reiss via Rotoworld, Nov. 8, date-only). Further testing expected; no severity or timetable.
Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.
Next up behind Jahmyr Gibbs; depth chart RB2.
Rest of the stableJabari Small (RB4)ExpandCollapse
Jabari SmallRB40% rostered · free long shotNew to the active roster: Detroit activated him from the practice squad on Saturday Nov. 7 to cover for Jacob Saylors (neck), and he was available at Miami on Nov. 8. The roster feed now shows him at RB4 with no published depth role, and nothing establishes an offensive share behind Jahmyr Gibbs and Sione Vaki. Deep-league flier contingent on further absences.
Injury history: No injury history was reviewed for him this cycle and no 2026 designation has been reported; practice-squad players are not carried on club injury reports, so the absence of data does not establish health.

Sione Vaki is listed RB2 on the Detroit Lions depth chart behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Jacob Saylors: Out (espn_rosters) Isiah Pacheco: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: The ankle scare passed: Questionable after a Friday DNP, he was active for Week 9 at Miami, so the No. 2 job behind Jahmyr Gibbs he won with career highs of 11 carries for 65 yards on Nov. 1 is intact. With Jacob Saylors inactive he was the only other healthy back until Jabari Small was activated. Useful as a Gibbs contingency; not a standalone start.
Starter injury history: 2023: missed two games (hamstring). 2024 and 2025: played every game. 2026: his first injury listing of the year was a shoulder, a full non-participant on Detroit's Oct. 28 report before Week 8 vs Minnesota and corroborated on Minnesota's report; he was back to full participation on the Oct. 29 report. No diagnosis detail, no game designation, no game missed and no timetable outstanding.
