Mike Reiss of ESPN was first to report Stevenson’s return. The 27-year-old had sat out a majority of the voluntary offseason program following the death of his father, Robert, back in March. “We’re extremely excited to have him with us,” Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said about Stevenson earlier this week.

The New England Patriots' resuming OTAs practice was highlighted by the return of running back Rhamondre Stevenson on Thursday.

It was a shaky start for Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense during Tuesday's OTA session at GIllette Stadium.
