The New England Patriots are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, with promising updates on player availability. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson and linebacker Harold Landry III are officially active for the matchup at Paycor Stadium. The Patriots have received good news as they work to recuperate from previous injuries, allowing them to field a stronger lineup. The inactives list includes a surprise healthy scratch of a rookie defensive lineman, even as Stevenson is expected to return from a toe injury, raising questions about his role alongside TreVeyon Henderson, who has been gaining traction. Coach Mike Vrabel has hinted that the team aims to optimize its offensive strategy, looking to enhance their chances against the Bengals as they reclaim critical intra-conference positions.
