TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders and will miss multiple weeks for the New England Patriots. ESPN‘s Adam Schefter reported the diagnosis Tuesday.
“Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s win over the Raiders that now is expected to sideline him multiple weeks,” Schefter reported.
What The Team And Reports Say
Henderson will not require surgery and is regarded as a quick healer, per reports. The Patriots are hopeful his return comes sooner rather than later, though no exact date has been set and there is no word yet on whether he will land on injured reserve.
The injury occurred during New England’s victory over Las Vegas, with Henderson finishing that game with four carries for 22 yards and one catch for 16 yards before leaving.
Who Replaces Him In The Backfield
Rhamondre Stevenson is the likely replacement while Henderson recovers. The Patriots have not detailed exactly how they will deploy the backfield, but Stevenson’s experience in the offense makes him the primary option.
The Patriots are also expected to be without left tackle Will Campbell due to a knee injury, creating additional lineup changes.
Henderson’s Season Numbers
Henderson has carried the ball 42 times for 163 yards and one touchdown across four appearances this season. The workload shows he had carved out a role in New England’s offense before the injury interrupted his fourth game of the year against the Raiders.
What’s Next
No specific return timeline beyond “multiple weeks” has been given for Henderson. The Patriots will rely on Stevenson while Henderson recovers.
