Rhamondre Stevenson, the running back for the New England Patriots, was not present at practice on Wednesday due to a calf injury he sustained during the previous game against the Dolphins. Although he downplayed the injury, stating he felt fine to return to the game, his absence from practice raises questions about his availability for the upcoming matchup against the Texans. Additionally, Stevenson has shown up to camp lighter and quicker than last year, which could positively impact his performance this season.

• Stevenson was not practicing due to a calf injury.
• He downplayed the injury but his practice absence is concerning.
• Stevenson has lost weight and looks quicker this season.
