TreVeyon Henderson Injury Update: Patriots RB’s Return Timeline Revealed
· Yahoo Sports
TreVeyon Henderson has been a key part of New England’s offense this year, but the 3-2 Patriots may be without their change-of-pace back for the next month or so. A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Ohio State product had an up-and-down rookie season but had a knack of churning out big plays. Appearing in all 17 games while making four starts, Henderson finished his rookie season with 911 rushing yards, 221 receiving yards, and a combined 10 touchdowns.
While he missed Week 1 with an injury, the running back has played a complementary role in the team’s previous four games. Splitting snaps with Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson has recorded 163 rushing yards and one touchdown on 42 attempts while adding two receptions for 22 yards in the passing game. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Henderson suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 5’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The silver lining is that he will not need surgery, and Schefter adds that the team is hoping he can return “sooner rather than later.”

This return timeline is vague, but generally speaking, high-ankle sprains take 4-6 weeks for a full recovery. A lot can happen between now and the next month, but if this initial timeline is to be believed, then the Patriots will probably be without TreVeyon Henderson for about a month, rather than a month and a half.
With TreVeyon Henderson sidelined, the Patriots running game will go through Rhamondre Stevenson. The former fourth-round pick has been the team’s unquestioned starter through the first five games and enters Week 6 with 227 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 57 attempts while adding 15 receptions for 111 yards and no touchdowns through the air.
Stevenson will see an increased workload with TreVeyon Henderson sidelined, but he won’t be the only running back on the field. Third-string runnin back Corey Kiner saw some action late in Week 5 and finished the blowout win with six carries for 52 yards. Additionally, the team signed veteran Hassan Haskins to the practice squad.
