New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson ruled out for season opener
The New England Patriots have ruled running back TreVeyon Henderson out for the NFL season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Henderson has been unable to practice since August 24 due to a right ankle injury sustained during a practice session.
With Henderson sidelined, Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to take on a significantly larger workload. To bolster depth, the Patriots are expected to elevate either Lan Larison or Hassan Haskins from the practice squad. Larison is considered a likely candidate due to his familiarity with the team's passing concepts.
Other injury updates include offensive lineman Ben Brown, who is out with a knee injury, and defensive tackle Christian Barmore, who has been cleared to play. For the Seahawks, safety Ty Okada is ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Nick Emmanwori remains questionable with an ankle issue.
