Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll make his 2026 debut against the Steelers on Sunday. Henderson was behind RB Rhamondre Stevenson in the pecking order all summer and figures to operate as the No. 2 RB this weekend. Consider him a big-play-dependent RB3 or flex play in fantasy lineups.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to make his 2026 debut vs. the Steelers this weekend. Henderson was behind RB Rhamondre Stevenson on the depth chart before the ankle injury and is likely to return as the No. 2. That leaves him as just a RB3 or flex option in Week 2 fantasy lineups.

We've gotten plenty of recent indications that the Patriots might miss RB TreVeyon Henderson for Week 1. Sunday provided the first official injury report of the season, and Henderson missed the workout with his ankle injury. We'll get two more days of practice reports before the team puts out game statuses for Wednesday's opener.

Running back TreVeyon Henderson left practice early last Monday with what has been labeled a ‘minor’ ankle injury. But with Mike Reiss reporting that Henderson didn’t practice today, concern is starting to grow that we won’t see him on opening night, which falls on Wednesday for the Patriots. The team will submit its first injury report later today.

Following the right ankle injury TreVeyon Henderson suffered after slipping in last week's practice, he still hasn't been cleared to return to full participation, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. Reiss mentioned that Henderson was present in the locker room today and walking normally.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson should be "good to go" for Week 1, a source tells The Boston Globe's Christopher Price. Henderson hurt his right ankle on Monday but avoided a serious injury, according to Price. We haven't moved Henderson in the RB rankings due to the ankle, although he has fallen a few spots this month with consistent reporting that Rhamondre Stevenson will open the season as New England's clear lead back.

Christopher Price of Boston Globe Sports reports that “TreVeyon Henderson is getting some ‘precautionary tests’ done on his right ankle, but is walking and moving fine.” Henderson suffered the lower ankle injury after slipping on the turf in yesterday’s practice.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play vs. the Jets on Sunday, per multiple reports. The rookie should not be limited coming off the head injury. He's in a great spot with his Patriots 13.5-point favorites against a Jets defense that ranks 30th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs over the last five weeks.

Patriots RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were limited in Tuesday's practice. That gives them both a chance to play vs. the Jets on Thursday night, although we won't be surprised if they're held out on the short week. We'll get New England's final injury report on Wednesday afternoon. RB TreVeyon Henderson will be in for a big workload if Stevenson and Jennings are out.

Patriots RB Terrell Jennings is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers with a knee injury. His absence should mean more work for RB TreVeyon Henderson. RB D'Ernest Johnson is also dressed for New England today.

Update: Jennings has been ruled out.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Mike Vrabel said. We still haven't heard any details on Stevenson's injury, but we're assuming it's turf toe, which can be very debilitating. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him playing vs. the Buccaneers this weekend, which would again leave the backfield to TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 9 depending on the severity of this toe injury. Stevenson’s absence leaves TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings as the only two RBs on the active roster. RBs D’Ernest Johnson, Rushawn Baker, and Jonathan Ward are on the practice squad. The Patriots have been hesitant to give Henderson a big role so far, but we’d be surprised if he didn’t tally 12+ touches in this one, with a ceiling approaching 20. Consider the rookie a moderate-risk, high-reward RB2 play.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a toe. We don't have any other details. Stevenson played deep into the fourth quarter of last week's 32-12 win over the Browns. But it's worth noting that the Patriots signed RBs Rushawn Baker and Jonathan Ward to their practice squad on Tuesday. We'll see if Stevenson gets back on the field tomorrow. His absence vs. Atlanta this weekend would likely force RB TreVeyon Henderson into a big role.

There was hope that last week's season-ending knee injury to Antonio Gibson would free up more playing time and touches for TreVeyon Henderson. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Henderson played only 19 snaps, his second-lowest total of the season, in the Patriots' 25-19 win in New Orleans. QB Drake Maye led the way for New England, throwing for 261 yards and accounting for 3 TDs in the victory.

Tests today revealed that Patriots RB Antonio Gibson tore his ACL last night against the Buffalo Bills. Gibson was injured on a kick return in the second quarter and was ruled out quickly. Gibson’s absence will open up more opportunities in the backfield for rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson, who operated as the lead back Sunday night after the Gibson injury.

Patriots RB Antonio Gibson injured his right knee on a kick return in the second quarter of Sunday night's game against the Bills. He was down for a while in obvious pain and was ruled out a short time later. This has the look of a serious injury. Gibson has been part of New England's 3-RB rotation this season, averaging 4.8 carries and 0.5 targets over the first four games. His absence should turn this into a 2-man backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

The Patriots selected Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson with the 38th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Henderson’s speed and quickness have stood out since he was a five-star recruit. He was too talented for the Buckeyes to keep off the field as a true freshman, leading the team in 2021 with 184 rushes for 1,255 yards and 15 TDs. After dealing with injuries in 2022 and 2023, Henderson stayed in school and split the backfield with transfer Quinshon Judkins last year. His receiving work increased, highlighted by his 75-yard screen TD against Texas in the College Football Playoff. Overall, he impressed with 7.0 yards per carry, 10.8 yards per catch, and 4.43 yards after contact per attempt. Henderson also proved to be one of the top pass protectors in this RB class. His momentum continued at the NFL Combine, where he assembled an 8.87 Relative Athletic Score at 202 pounds.
