TreVeyon Henderson Expected to Miss Multiple Weeks
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain during the team’s 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Henderson will not need surgery, Schefter reported Tuesday. The Patriots have not announced a specific return date in the supplied reports. Henderson left the game in the second quarter after being tackled from behind and did not return. Before his exit, he recorded four carries for 22 yards and caught one pass for 16 yards. The injury occurred in the first half of Sunday’s game, played October 11. The 23-year-old has 163 rushing yards and one touchdown through four games this season, according to the reports. He missed New England’s season opener because of an ankle injury. One report said the latest sprain involved the same ankle he hurt in training camp, though the team has not issued a medical update in the material provided. Henderson’s absence is expected to increase the workload for Rhamondre Stevenson, identified in the reports as New England’s starting running back. The team also has second-year back Corey Kiner on its roster.
