TreVeyon Henderson Practices Fully and Is Reported Likely to Return for Week 2
His availability would give the Patriots a needed big-play rushing option to help a ground game that managed just 109 yards in Week 1.
Overview
- Field Yates of ESPN reported that TreVeyon Henderson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and that he looks likely to play in New England's Week 2 game.
- Henderson missed the Week 1 opener after an Aug. 24 non-contact slip at the team's lower-grass practice field and spent the intervening days in rehab and limited on-field work.
- The Patriots ran 31 times for 109 yards against the Seahawks in Week 1, a 3.5-yard average that highlighted the offense's need for Henderson's big-play upside.
- If activated, Henderson is expected to share the backfield with lead back Rhamondre Stevenson, which would reduce Stevenson's heavy snap load and change short-term depth plans.
- All reports trace to Field Yates and were republished by other outlets, so Henderson's Week 2 status still requires official game-day confirmation from the team.
