New England Patriots running back Kevin Faulk could miss up to eight weeks to injury. While Corey Dillon is the starter, Faulk saw plenty of playing time still as a receiver.

To replace Faulk for the time being, the team signed running back Amos Zereoue. Fullback Patrick Pass will likely be the man who immediately fills in for Faulk though, as he is already involved in the offense often.
