Key Patriots player to miss ‘multiple weeks’ after suffering injury in win over Raiders
An important member of the Patriots' offense will reportedly be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
New England Patriots offensive star Treveyon Henderson will miss an extended period of time after suffering a high-ankle sprain during Sunday’s 45-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. Schefter informed that Henderson is expected to be sidelined for “multiple weeks,” although he does not require surgery and is considered a rapid healer.
The Patriots' second-year running back from Ohio State has contributed 163 rushing yards, 22 receiving yards, and one touchdown in four games this season. Henderson's absence from the lineup forces veteran Rhamondre Stevenson to become the clear starter, with Corey Kiner set to fill in as his backup. Stevenson has excelled thus far, accumulating 227 rushing yards, 111 receiving yards, and two touchdowns.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown, who missed the season opener with a high-ankle sprain, is also nursing a similar injury and has not played since. The Patriots, currently at 3-2, are set to face the New York Jets on Sunday, October 18.
