On August 24, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson exited practice early after appearing to twist his left ankle while slipping on the grass. 

By September 6, Henderson’s availability for the team’s season opener against the Seattle Seahawks remained uncertain. While head coach Mike Vrabel described Henderson as “day-to-day,” he had not practiced since the initial injury. Medical experts expressed concern regarding his recovery timeline. If Henderson is unable to play, Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to assume primary rushing duties.

On September 8, the Patriots officially ruled Henderson out for the season opener against the Seahawks. He has remained unable to practice since the August 24 injury to his right ankle. Consequently, Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to take on a significantly larger workload. To provide depth, the team is expected to elevate either Lan Larison or Hassan Haskins from the practice squad, with Larison noted as a likely candidate due to his familiarity with the team’s passing concepts.
