TreVeyon Henderson reportedly expected to miss multiple weeks
A reported high ankle sprain changes New England’s backfield outlook after its win over Las Vegas.
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday.
Schefter reported that Henderson was not expected to require surgery, according to NFL.com’s league roundup. Henderson left the Week 5 game with an ankle injury and did not return as New England completed a 45–17 win.
His absence would leave Rhamondre Stevenson positioned for a larger share of the backfield work. NBC Sports identified Stevenson as the likely lead back if Henderson misses time, with Corey Kiner a potential change-of-pace option.
The report supplies an expected absence rather than a fixed return date. Henderson’s game availability and the division of carries still depend on subsequent team updates. Fantasy managers can check the Patriots’ practice reports and final game designation before setting their lineups, with the latest broader injury updates available in Fantasy Pulse.
