Patriots rule out Rhamondre Stevenson for Texans game

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Rhamondre Stevenson has been ruled out of Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans after missing the week of practice due to a foot injury, meaning rookie quarterback Drake Maye won't have the New England Patriots' top running back when he makes his first career start.

Five-year veteran Antonio Gibson is expected to start, with fellow five-year veteran JaMycal Hasty bumped up the depth chart. Coach Jerod Mayo said the team also will likely promote a running back from the practice squad -- either third-year player Kevin Harris or rookie Terrell Jennings.
