Is Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson playing today?
Will Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson be available for Sunday's game against the Lions?
The New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson will not be playing in Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The second-year player has been sidelined due to a neurological medical condition that has kept him out of the last two games, including matches against the Miami Dolphins and the Green Bay Packers. Henderson shared a statement on social media explaining his hospitalization for several days.
On Friday, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel provided his initial update on Henderson's condition, stating that he has been communicating with the player daily and is committed to his recovery. However, Vrabel did not offer a specific timeline for Henderson's return. Henderson had previously recorded three carries for nine yards and two receptions for 14 yards in a game against the Chicago Bears.
His absence will create challenges for the Patriots' running back corps, which has recently been bolstered by Corey Kiner. However, Kiner may be moved up to the starting lineup, and linebacker Rhamondre Stevenson may take over as the second option if he is also unable to play due to a knee injury. The depth at the running back position is being further tested, a situation that was not anticipated by the Patriots.
