Faulk is an offensive captain and the longest-tenured player on the Patriots. He has been a valuable player as a passing threat, blocker and runner. He also has been an outstanding punt returner.
His loss leaves the Patriots with four running backs, Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead.
