Quick Summary

Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high-ankle sprain during their recent 45-17 win over the Raiders and will miss multiple weeks, per ESPN. This injury occurred after Henderson had carried four times for 22 yards before exiting the game early. As Henderson recovers, Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to handle increased workload as the primary running back, with the team likely looking elsewhere to find additional depth at the position. Henderson’s previous season showed promise with a 5.1 yard per carry average but this year he has struggled, averaging just 3.9 yards per attempt and facing issues in pass blocking roles compared to Stevenson who has more trust from coach Mike Vrabel in these situations.

Story summary

TreVeyon Henderson, the standout second-year running back for the Patriots, suffered a high-ankle sprain during their 45-17 victory over the Raiders and is expected to miss multiple weeks. This injury comes as another setback for the Patriots' offense, which was already dealing with Henderson's initial ankle injury sustained in training camp. Despite not requiring surgery, Henderson’s absence will likely see Rhamondre Stevenson take on more responsibilities as the team’s primary running back. The Patriots are expected to explore options through free agency or the practice squad to find a suitable replacement for Henderson. Last year, Henderson averaged an impressive 5.1 yards per carry in limited action, placing him fifth-best among rookie running backs in the league.
