Patriots Face Tough Roster Decision in Super Bowl Rematch vs. Seahawks

The New England Patriots face a crucial roster decision as they prepare for their Super Bowl rematch against the Seattle Seahawks. Running back TreVeyon Henderson, who has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury on August 24, is unlikely to be available for the upcoming game. This raises questions about who will back up Rhamondre Stevenson, who has been the team's starting running back throughout the regular season and playoffs.

Reggie Gilliam and Corey Kiner are the only other running backs on the active roster, but Kiner has limited experience with the Patriots. Lan Larison, a 24-year-old former Arizona Cardinals trade acquisition, and Hassan Haskins, a 26-year-old with some professional experience, are both on the practice squad. ESPN's Mike Reiss anticipates that one of these practice squad members will likely be elevated to the active roster before the game.

Larison, who has been working with the team since its recent regime change, and Haskins, who has played in actual games, could both be options for the Patriots. The team is considering the possibility of keeping at least three running backs on the field during the Super Bowl rematch.
