Rhamondre Stevenson, the New England Patriots' running back, has been absent from practice due to a foot injury, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Texans. Although the injury is not expected to be long-term, his absence could lead to Antonio Gibson starting in Week 6. Additionally, Stevenson has shown up to camp lighter and quicker than last year, indicating potential for improved performance this season.

• Stevenson's foot injury is concerning as he has missed practice all week.
• Antonio Gibson could take over as the starting running back if Stevenson is unable to play.
