New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson will be sidelined multiple weeks with a high ankle sprain, ESPN reported on Tuesday. Henderson sustained the injury in the first half of Sunday's 45-17 home victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
He will not undergo surgery and is regarded as a 'quick healer' per the report, though the exact return timeline remains unspecified. The injury compounds New England's backfield challenges as they look to stabilize their offense.
Patriots coaches will likely lean on remaining backfield options as Henderson's absence stretches into the coming weeks, with the team seeking to balance short-term needs against long-term health.
