TreVeyon Henderson has now missed roughly two weeks of Patriots practice. And with New England opening its season against the Seattle Seahawks in just two days, the pressure is suddenly on Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson's ankle injury initially didn't appear overly concerning. He walked off the field under his own power, and the hope remains that New England is simply being extremely cautious with its young running back. But we're running out of time before Week 1. Unless something changes dramatically, Rhamondre Stevenson could be looking at a MASSIVE role against Seattle. And maybe that's exactly what New England needs. Stevenson has been one of the more underrated running backs in football despite playing in some difficult offensive situations, and Mike Vrabel has already acknowledged that the Patriots need to improve their ability to run the football. Corey Kiner could also immediately become more important after New England traded with Arizona to make him its RB3. But Henderson isn't the only important Patriot missing practice. Christian Barmore was also absent. And that could be a major concern for a New England pass rush that already enters the season with questions. The Patriots don't have an obvious elite edge rusher who can consistently win one-on-one. That means generating pressure could require New England to manufacture it. Christian Barmore and Milton Williams become extremely important because of their ability to demand attention on the interior and potentially create opportunities for everyone around them. Can the Patriots generate enough pressure against Seattle? And how much will New England have to lean on Rhamondre Stevenson if TreVeyon Henderson isn't ready?
