Patriots Get Good News With TreVeyon Henderson Injury Update
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson returned to practice on Monday.
The New England Patriots experienced a setback as their 2026 season opener against the Seattle Seahawks ended in defeat, following the offseason acquisition of A.J. Brown, who suffered a high ankle sprain during the match and is expected to miss four to six weeks. However, Patriots fans were encouraged by news on Monday regarding another player, running back TreVeyon Henderson.
Henderson, a second-year professional, returned to practice for the first time since injuring his ankle in a practice session on August 24. He missed Week 1's game against the Seahawks but is aiming to make his season debut in the Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Henderson led the Patriots in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns during the 2025 rookie season, and played in all 21 games last year, including the four playoff games.
The former second-round pick was the third-leading rusher in the NFL's AP Offensive Rookie of the Year voting but struggled in the postseason, contributing only 76 scoreless rushing yards on 30 carries. With Rhamondre Stevenson handling the workload during Henderson's absence, Henderson could be called upon to fill a receiving role if he is active in Week 2, potentially stepping up due to the injury to A.J. Brown.
