Patriots’ Henderson and Campbell Exit With Injuries in Week 5 Win

Follow-up imaging due this week will determine whether New England must reshuffle an already thin offense

Overview

  • TreVeyon Henderson left with a right-ankle injury in the second quarter of the Oct. 11 game and was officially listed as questionable to return by the team.
  • Two plays after Henderson exited, left tackle Will Campbell left with a knee injury and received the same questionable designation while both were evaluated in the medical tent and locker room.
  • Postgame observations showed Henderson walking without an obvious limp in sneakers while Campbell walked off gingerly, but neither player has a confirmed diagnosis pending imaging and the Patriots’ Wednesday injury report.
  • With several starters already out (including right guard Mike Onwenu and wide receiver A.J. Brown), New England leaned more on Rhamondre Stevenson, reserve backs and backup linemen such as Caleb Lomu to finish the game and secure the win.
  • Campbell’s recent MCL history and Henderson’s earlier missed opener for an ankle issue raise depth and workload questions for the Patriots and could force longer-term lineup changes if either is ruled out this week.
