Stevenson appeared to avoid a serious injury Sunday after his left leg bent awkwardly during a rundown in Drake Maye’s celebrity softball game.
Video posted by Boston reporter Marlee Wierda showed comedian Matt Rife losing his balance while trying to reach second base and rolling up on the Patriots running back’s leg.
Stevenson got up smiling after the collision, easing immediate fears for New England after the play left fans alarmed.
Rife, 30, later joked on Instagram that “half the Patriots beat the s--t out of me” and defended the play as a product of a “crowded baseline.”
