Rhamondre Stevenson left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury that he sustained in the first quarter of the Patriots’ loss to the Chargers.
The hit that led to Stevenson’s injury appeared to be a hip drop tackle. Those sort of hits have been a popular topic in the NFL this season, with players having mixed views on whether they should be allowed.
Multiple Patriots players were asked about hip drop tackles after the game.
“There’s been a lot of rules changes since I’ve come into the league,” offensive lineman David Andrews said.
