In this context, "gone" is an adjective. "Gone," when used as an adjective, means to be absent, no longer present, or departed. Ross is stating that he will not be there for a week. Ex: My parents have been gone for a week. I am starting to get a little lonely. Ex: My boyfriend will be gone for a month. I am planning a surprise for his return.
