Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Won't play Sunday against Green Bay
Rotowire
Henderson (illness) won't play Sunday against the Packers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, Mike Vrabel said that the Patriots won't put a timeline on Henderson's return, while adding via Lazar that the team is "just trying to make sure that TreVeyon is cared for and his recovery plan is intact and he's comfortable with it." In the absence of Henderson's -- who recently experienced "an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms" -- Rhamondre Stevenson will pace New England's backfield, with Corey Kiner and Lan Larison also mixing in.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Provides medical update Friday
Rotowire
In a statement posted to social media on Friday, Henderson -- who hasn't practiced since last Wednesday -- noted that he recently experienced "an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms," Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Henderson, who was unavailable for New England's Week 8 win over Miami, indicated that tests have "come back positive and reassuring," adding "I will continue working closely with specialists and physical therapists to focus on my recovery, as these symptoms have affected my strength, coordination, and some of my physical functions." The running back noted that for now he is "committed to doing everything necessary to return to full health" and that his "health and long-term well-being" remain his foremost priorities." In six games this season, while working in a Patriots backfield that also includes Rhamondre Stevenson, Corey Kiner and Lan Larison, Henderson has carried 52 times for 203 yards a touchdown, while adding five receptions for 45 yards.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Logs another 'DNP' Thursday
Rotowire
Henderson (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.
Henderson officially goes down as a non-participant for a second consecutive Week 9 practice and has now missed a full week due to this illness. His participation level will be worth monitoring Friday, though it looks likely at this point that Henderson will carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. Corey Kiner would be in line to maintain an expanded role alongside Rhamondre Stevenson if Henderson sits again Sunday.

Henderson (illness) was not seen at Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Henderson hasn't practiced since last Wednesday as he deals with an illness. Unless he returns to drills Thursday and/or Friday this week, he may be in danger of missing a second game in a row Sunday against the Packers. Thursday's injury report will reveal Henderson's activity level.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Not practicing Friday
Rotowire
Henderson (illness) isn't practicing Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
After missing back-to-back practices, Henderson has two days to get healthy before the Patriots face the Dolphins on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. An absence would improve the workload projections for Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner in a favorable matchup, though Henderson got just five touches in a 30-24 loss to the Bears last week.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Missing from practice due to ankle issue
Rotowire
Henderson wasn't on the field for Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Though the Patriots left him off their initial Week 8 injury report released Wednesday, Henderson may be dealing with an aggravation of the ankle he previously sprained in a Week 5 win over the Raiders. Since then, Henderson has been able to suit up in both of the team's last two contests, but he's played limited snaps behind starter Rhamondre Stevenson. In an effort to get the ball in Henderson's hands more frequently, head coach Mike Vrabel told Kyed on Tuesday that the second-year back could get more involved on kickoff returns, though that plan could be put on hold while Henderson is nursing an injury.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.
Henderson has been limited in back-to-back practice sessions to kick off Week 6 prep. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's home game against the Jets, in which second place in the AFC East will be on the line. Corey Kiner would be in line for change-of-pace work behind Rhamondre Stevenson if Henderson sits.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Set to practice in pads Thursday
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) is in pads ahead of Thursday's practice, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Henderson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and he looks poised to practice in some capacity again Thursday, though the extent of his participation remains to bee seen. After initial pessimism following his exit from the Week 5 win over the Raiders, Henderson seemingly has a chance to suit up Sunday against the Jets without missing any additional game action.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Surprise practice participant Wednesday
Rotowire
The Patriots listed Henderson (ankle) as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
After Henderson was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain coming out of Sunday's win over the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Tuesday that the second-year running back would avoid surgery but was expected to miss multiple weeks. While that could still be the case, Henderson's involvement in practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- suggests that the Patriots haven't yet ruled him out from playing Week 6 against the Jets. However, in the more likely event that Henderson ends up sitting out this Sunday, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in store for a larger share of the touches out of the backfield, while Corey Kiner would serve as the top complement to Stevenson.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Absent for first Week 6 practice
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Henderson's absence hardly comes as a surprise after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the running back is likely to miss multiple weeks after sustaining a right high-ankle sprain during this past Sunday's win over the Raiders. Head coach Mike Vrabel has yet to provide an updated timeline for Henderson's return, but the 23-year-old is expected to be officially ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Jets following Friday's practice.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Suffers ankle injury in Week 5
Rotowire
Henderson suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Raiders.
After a carry in the second quarter in which he endured an awkward tackle going out of bounds, Henderson limped to the locker room. The Patriots soon considered him questionable to return. Rhamondre Stevenson likely will take on the bulk of New England's backfield reps for as long as Henderson is sidelined, though Corey Kiner also is available for RB snaps.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Middling numbers in Week 4 win
Rotowire
Henderson rushed 14 times for 42 yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Patriots' 29-26 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Henderson struggled to get anything going against an improved Bills run defense, averaging an even 3.0 yards per carry. The second-year pro logged one more carry than backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson but finished with five fewer rushing yards, and through three games, Henderson is averaging a pedestrian 3.7 yards per tote while only adding one catch for six yards. The 2025 second-round pick's next opportunity for his first breakout effort of 2026 comes in a Week 5 home matchup against a vastly improved Raiders team.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
I'm curious to see what the Patriots will do with the workload for Rhamondre Stevenson and Henderson in Week 3 at Jacksonville. In Week 2 against Pittsburgh, which was Henderson's first game of the season after he missed Week 1 at Seattle with an ankle injury, he played more snaps than Stevenson (33-20). That was a rare occurrence in 2025 and Stevenson also lost a fumble against the Steelers. Henderson had 16 carries for 76 yards and a 39-yard touchdown run but no targets in Week 2, while Stevenson had six carries for 43 yards and one catch for 3 yards on two targets. This isn't an easy matchup against the Jaguars, but I'll still use Stevenson as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues. Henderson is worth using as a flex and hopefully, he continues to play more than Stevenson moving forward.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Scores 39-yard TD in season debut
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) rushed 16 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.
Henderson didn't take long to make an impact in his season debut after sitting out the 13-10 Week 1 loss to Seattle. The 2025 second-round pick opened the scoring with a 39-yard touchdown run 6:38 into Sunday's game and handled 17 touches compared to just seven for Rhamondre Stevenson, who lost a fumble on the drive preceding Henderson's touchdown run. Henderson had 180 carries to Stevenson's 130 during the 2025 regular season. Both running backs are likely to be involved in the Week 3 game plan against the Jaguars.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Says he's ready to go
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) said Thursday that he's ready to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Henderson sat out the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Seahawks but has been practicing without limitations ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Steelers. Rhamondre Stevenson handled 23 touches in Henderson's absence last week, but they figure to shift into a near-even split, leaving few, if any, touches for third-stringer Corey Kiner.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
This is a big development for Henderson after his ankle injury kept him out of the season opener. He was a full-go in Wednesday's session, which bodes well for him making his 2026 debut Sunday against the Steelers. The Patriots struggled to run the ball in his absence against the Seahawks, recording just 3.9 yards per carry as a team. Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner mustered just 62 yards on 24 carries.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: More practice reps on tap
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Vrabel said Henderson (ankle) will "do some more" at Wednesday's practice, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Prior to sitting out the Patriots' Week 1 loss at Seattle, Henderson had been sidelined from practice since Aug. 24. The team held an unofficial session Monday, for which Henderson's activity level wasn't divulged, so how he's listed Wednesday may provide insight into his odds to suit up Sunday against the Steelers.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Sitting out season opener
Rotowire
The Patriots ruled out Henderson for Wednesday's season opener versus the Seahawks, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Henderson's absence for the opener hardly comes as a surprise, as an ankle injury has kept him from practicing in any capacity since Aug. 24. With the second-year RB sidelined, Rhamondre Stevenson will handle the bulk of snaps and touches out of the backfield. Corey Kiner is the only other healthy back on the depth chart, but the Patriots will likely elevate one or both of Lan Larison and Hassan Haskins from the practice squad.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Remains out of practice
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice, Mike Kadlick of Sports Illustrated reports.
Henderson has been DNP all week leading up to Wednesday's season opener in Seattle, and it's looking extremely unlikely that he's going to play Week 1. The Patriots have one more practice report to issue Tuesday, and it's at least notable that Henderson traveled with the team to Seattle, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. If the second-year running back is unable to play, Rhamondre Stevenson would be looking at a potential workhorse role, as Corey Kiner is the only other running back on the active roster. Lan Larison is on the practice squad as a likely elevation.

Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Sitting out Saturday's practice
Rotowire
Henderson (ankle) was in street clothes ahead of Saturday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Head coach Mike Vrabel suggested earlier Saturday that Henderson could return to practice, but the second-year running back will end up observing the session in street clothes as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Henderson will have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Patriots' regular-season opener against the Seahawks on Wednesday.
