The third-year quarterback sat out Mondays practice.The Patriots have yet to add another quarterback to the roster, increasing the possibility that rookie Jacoby Brissett could make his first career start against Houston (2-0) if Garoppolo cant go. In that situation, receiver Julian Edelman would be the emergency option.It didnt stop an onslaught of Garoppolo-related health questions on Tuesday. It drove Belichick to the point of agitation as he was pressed about Garoppolos status.He has been looked at. He has been treated, like every other player, Belichick said.As inquiries persisted, he made it clear that whatever is going on with Garoppolo, what was best for his health would take precedence.Im a football coach. Im not a doctor, Belichick said.But he does have a reputation of being a master of misdirection.Texans coach Bill OBrien has seen Belichick in action up close as a former Patriots assistant from 2007 to 2011.I think we have to be ready for their roster, OBrien said. We have to understand the skill sets on their roster.He also has memories of Edelman, a former college quarterback, showing off his skills during Patriots practices. OBrien was there when they initially drafted Edelman.He was a shotgun, wildcat quarterback at Kent State -- and really good at it, OBrien said. I can remember doing some of those things with him over the couple of years I was with him in practice there. So I know that he can do that stuff.There are also wild card players than can come into play as well, with OBrien noting that receiver Danny Amendola can also throw the ball.OBrien also has lots of respect for Brissett, a big load at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, who he said looked very comfortable in the extended minutes he got during the preseason. It presents yet another preparation challenge for a Houston defense that has held its opponents under 15 points in each of their two victories over Chicago aand Kansas City.ddddddddddddTexans quarterback Brock Osweiler has respect for the position that both New England quarterbacks are navigating while trying to seize opportunities afforded to them because of the unavailability of a sure Hall of Fame quarterback.Osweiler, after all, just left a situation in Denver in which he found himself sharing time with former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Its a setup that required both patience and discipline.I do know what Jimmys going through right now. Ive been in those shoes, Osweiler said. I was in those shoes for three and half years before I really got my opportunity. I say patience because thats a long time to sit and not play.The approach always must be the same, he said.Every single day you need to earn your spot on the roster, Osweiler said. Just from the way Jimmys been playing, I can tell he hasnt wasted a single day. Whether I was the backup or I was playing last year, I wanted to show up and get better every single day...There was a coach that told me `If youre not getting better, youre getting replaced.Game notesTight end Rob Gronkowski was again a limited practice participant Tuesday as he works his way back from the hamstring injury that caused him to miss the first two games. He initially came out to Tuesday in full pads, but was sent back to the locker room to change his gear for helmets and sweatpants workout. I havent been in full pads for a while, so I kind of felt like I wanted to get used to it, he said. I wasnt allowed to wear them, so I had to take them off. He said he wants to play this week. Its not just up to me... and its not Thursday yet. ... Linebacker Donta Hightower was upgraded to a limited participant on Tuesday, his first practice since sitting all of last week and Monday with a knee injury. Fellow linebacker Jonathan Freeny was an addition to the injury list, limited by a shoulder injury. Defensive lineman Trey Flowers (shoulder) was also a limited participant, along with guard Jonathan Cooper (foot). CB Eric Rowe (ankle) sat out a second consecutive day.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
