FOXBORO -- LeGarrette Blount was not spotted at Patriots practice for the second consecutive day as he continues to deal with an illness. The bug kept him off the field for Wednesday's on-the-field work altogether.
Otherwise, the Patriots had every member of the active roster present and accounted for. Thursday's work out was their final practice before Saturday's Divisional Round matchup with the Texans.
Should Blount be at all limited, expect the Patriots turn to Dion Lewis as their primary back. Though he does not have the size Blount does, Belichick explained on Thursday that the team is able to run the same plays with both runners since Lewis is adept at taking hand-offs between the tackles and finding open space.
