New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still doesn't have a clear timetable for when he expects TreVeyon Henderson to return to football.

But when pressed about how the second-year running back is doing, Vrabel acknowledged that he speaks with him every day, and he is working hard to return to the team.
“I talk to TreVeyon everyday. Just like everybody else that’s not available, he’s working hard to get back," Vrabel told media members on Friday. "When that is, I don’t know. I don’t have a timetable. But I love my interactions with him. I love talking with him and seeing how he’s doing.”
Henderson revealed through a statement last week that he was hospitalized for several days after experiencing an "unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms." The results from the medical tests came back positive, according to Henderson, and he is currently focusing on his recovery from the mysterious medical condition.
Without Henderson on the field, the Patriots had been depending on Corey Kiner at the top backup option behind Rhamondre Stevenson. However, with Stevenson's Week 10 status up in the air due to a knee injury, the team might be forced to bump Kiner to the No. 1 running back role and utilize Lan Larison in the No. 2 role.
As Vrabel stated, there is currently no timetable for Henderson's return. The team has yet to put him on injured reserve. So there is clearly hope that he'll be able to get back at some point.
