The New England Patriots have officially ruled out running back Rhamondre Stevenson for their upcoming game against the Houston Texans due to a foot injury. This absence comes after Stevenson missed the week of practice leading up to the game. As a result, rookie quarterback Drake Maye will not have his top running back available for his first career start. Antonio Gibson is expected to take the lead in the backfield, with JaMycal Hasty moving up the depth chart and a practice squad running back likely being promoted.
